What is it?
Unbleached Plain Flour is a general-purpose wheat flour that has been naturally aged rather than chemically bleached to whiten or mature the flour.
It has a moderate protein content and is versatile enough for a wide range of everyday cooking and baking, including cakes, cookies, pancakes, breads, pastries, and sauces.
