Calories in Flour, wheat, all-purpose, unenriched, unbleached
This flour gets its baking strength from natural oxygen exposure rather than chemical bleaching agents.
What makes flour so powerful?
All-purpose flour is a blend of hard and soft wheat. When freshly milled, it is pale yellow due to carotenoid pigments like xanthophylls. Bleached flour uses chemicals such as benzoyl peroxide to instantly whiten it and alter the gluten. Unbleached flour, however, simply sits in storage for several weeks, allowing natural oxidation to whiten the pigments and strengthen the gluten-forming proteins. This natural aging process, known as curing, allows oxygen to cross-link glutenin proteins, increasing their molecular weight. This results in a dough that can trap carbon dioxide more effectively during fermentation. Without the addition of chemical bleaching agents, the flour retains a slightly creamy color and a milder, less astringent flavor profile. Because this specific entry is unenriched, it also reflects the base nutritional state of refined wheat before government-mandated fortification, offering a blank canvas for bakers who want to control their own micronutrient additions or who live in regions without mandatory flour fortification laws.
Because unbleached flour naturally develops stronger gluten, it excels in yeast breads, pizza doughs, and laminated pastries where structure is critical. Store it in an airtight container in a cool, dark place to prevent the natural oils in the remaining endosperm from going rancid. Since it is unenriched, pair it with nutrient-dense ingredients like eggs or dairy to compensate for the lack of added B vitamins and iron in your final baked goods.
