What is unbromated flour?

Unbromated flour is a type of wheat flour that has not been treated with potassium bromate, a chemical compound used as an oxidizing agent in baking.

Potassium bromate strengthens the dough, making it easier to work with and resulting in a higher, more uniform rise in the finished product.

However, due to concerns over its potential health risks, including cancer, potassium bromate has been banned in some countries and its use is restricted in others.

Unbromated flour is made from wheat flour that has not been treated with potassium bromate. It can be used as a direct substitute for bromated flour, but may produce slightly different results in terms of texture and rise. For best results, it is recommended to check the specific recipe or product instructions when using unbromated flour.
