bleached flour
Chemically whitened wheat
Bleached flour is white flour that has been chemically treated to whiten it and improve its baking properties.
Unbleached flour achieves similar results through natural aging, but bleaching speeds the process.
The treatment affects texture and gluten development, making bleached flour preferred for tender cakes and pastries.
The recipe calls for bleached all-purpose flour.
