After wheat is ground into flour, it must be aged. Aging changes the
flour’s molecular structure, strengthening the gluten bonds so it can give
shape to baked goods.
There are several ways to age flour. The oldest and simplest method is
exposing it to air, at room temperature, for several weeks. Under these
conditions, flour oxidizes slowly and naturally.
To hurry along the process, newly milled flour can be treated with
bleaching agents, which turn it snowy white while aging it chemically, so
it is ready to sell at an earlier date. Potassium bromate is another
additive that hastens aging.
In the past 20 or so years, bakers have been moving away from bleached
and bromated flour and towards flour aged naturally by exposing it to
oxygen in the air. There are several reasons for this move. First of all,
chemically aged flour may have a bitter aftertaste, left behind by
maturing agents. Naturally aged flour tastes only of wheat. Secondly,
there are questions about the safety of potassium bromate. Studies have
linked it to cancer in laboratory animals, and it has been banned in
baked goods in Canada and the U.K. It’s still legal in the U.S., but you
have to ask yourself if you want to bake with a product that is outlawed
elsewhere for its carcinogenic potential.
These days, unbromated and unbleached flour is easy to find. Widely
distributed bands including Gold Medal and King Arthur offer it, so
look for flour that is labeled “unbleached and unbromated” for the
tastiest results and for safety’s sake.
