What it is

Unbleached pastry flour is a type of wheat flour milled from soft wheat, which gives it a lower protein content compared to all-purpose or bread flour. 'Unbleached' means it has not been treated with chemical agents to whiten it, allowing it to naturally whiten over time.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use unbleached pastry flour to create tender and delicate baked goods. Its low protein content results in less gluten development, which is ideal for pastries, cakes, cookies, and pie crusts, contributing to a softer texture.

Health notes

Unbleached pastry flour is a common food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is primarily a source of carbohydrates. As a basic food ingredient, it does not typically undergo specific evaluations by bodies like JECFA or EFSA in the same way food additives do.

Allergen info

Wheat is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. This ingredient contains gluten.
