What it is

Unbleached wheat flour is made from wheat grain that has not been bleached with chemicals. Malted barley flour is made from barley grain that has been germinated (malted) and then dried and ground. Both are common ingredients in baked goods.

These flours are used as a base ingredient in many baked goods, providing structure and texture. Malted barley flour can also act as a natural sweetener and improve browning due to its sugar content.
