What nutrient do enriched and whole wheat flours add to yeast breads?
There is no yeast at all in enriched flour. Enriched flour has a few specific nutrients added to replace some of the nutrients lost when the bran and germ are removed from whole wheat to produce white flour. Yeast must be added to enriched flour if it is used to make bread. See the Wikipedia article linked below for additional information.
What is the difference between wheat flour and white flour What does it mean for flour to be enriched What does it mean for a flour to be refined?
Whole wheat flour is just that, wheat that is ground into flour with nothing removed. White flour is just the middle part of the wheat kernel without the bran or wheat germ. Enriched flour has vitamins added to it to make up for the bran and wheat germ. Refined could mean any of these other than whole wheat.
Is enriched wheat flour a whole grain?
Answer 2There are not enough enriching vitamins and minerals in enriched flour products for even a small child to eat enough flour to overdose on the vitamins and minerals. Enriched flour is NOT "just flour with vitamins and minerals added to improve the nutritional value" The flour processors, in processing whole grain wheat into "WHITE" flour [also referred to as "Enriched"flour], in effect "grind off all the good stuff," leaving nothing but almost pure starch.When they finish milling the flour, there are NO vitamins,minerals, or FIBER left, they are all removed in the milling process. In order to give it some nutritional value, they then add-back SOME vitamins and minerals, but the result is NOT NEARLY so nutritious as if they had simply ground the whole wheat grain into flour. But then, the flour would not be "white," and "pretty."Now, today, IF one keeps up with the large number of health studies, we see results of recent clinical studies that confirm what my doctor told me nearly 30 years ago.Again, the answer to the question whether enriched flour [highly processed "white" flour] is bad for you, the answer is a resounding yes.
What is the difference between enriched white flour and whole wheat flour?
Flour oftentimes goes through a process known as bleaching. This makes the white baking flour most people are accustomed to and which they like to use in baking; however, while this makes the flour more suitable to common baked goods, it also strips much of the nutritional value from the flour. Vitamins are sometimes added to this flour making it 'enriched' white flour. By not doing the bleaching process, you retain the whole wheat aspect of the flour, making it healthier and heartier, and don't necessarily need to 'enrich' the flour.
Can you replace enriched flour with whole wheat flour?
Most things you can replace 1/3 to 1/2 of regular flour with whole wheat flour. The end product will be heavier and some things may tend to fall apart easier. Some things have to have only regular flour.

Why does white flour have better keeping qualities than whole wheat flour?
Whole wheat flour still contains the germ of the wheat, whereas white flour does not. The wheatgerm is where the grain stores fats/oils, which are intended help the grain to germinate again if it were planted rather than ground into flour. However these oils tend to go rancid easily, which is why white flour has better keeping qualities.
