Unbleached White Flour??!
Thanks :-)
Answers: I am Brit, trying to use an American recipe. When it says to use Unbleached white flour, does it mean plain flour or self raising?
Thanks :-)
Laura -- unbleached flour and all purpose flour can be inter changed the only difference is that regular all purpose flour has been {bromated } or bleached to make it whiter. Unbleached flour is available in the flour display section of the super market.
It will be on the label Unbleached. Some
recipes call for unbleached flour usually the recipe is a bread or some other yeast raised dough. Pie crust recipes some times call for unbleached flour. But all purpose flour will work just fine to replace unbleached
flour. I hope that I have helped you. jim b
--------NOTE---------
Do not use selfrising flour to replace it.
It has Baking powder and salt in it. it will make good Biscuts or Scones
plain flour.
Unless it specifically says self-rising flour or bread flour, etc., then it means regular, unbleached flour.
plain flour
regular flour, but with a slight yellowish cast, it is interchangeable with AP flour
it means regular all-purpose flour. Most all-purpose flours sold are bleached so just keep an eye out.
It would mean plain flour, or all-purpose flour if that is more familiar to you.
Happy baking!
Mass market flour is treated to make it whiter, for unbleached flour you shoud go for organic
plain flour
It just means regular flour. American flour is bleached sometimes to make it whiter.
