What is it in Polish? "nie bielona mąka"??? I need to buy it, so please tell
me if you know what it is.

Bleached vs unbleached: one main difference between unbleached and bleached
flour is the color; one is off-white and the other is pure white. Technically
speaking, the carotenoid (yellow) pigments in the flour are oxidized to produce
white flour. Flours treated with these bleaching agents must be labeled as
bleached.

If a recipe doesn't specify, you can use either one, but where a whiter color
is desired, use the bleached one. For those looking for untreated flour, note
that unbleached flour can still contain maturing agents and chemical dough
improvers (listed on the label).

Yea
The best way to kill a bread , even before it is baked, is to use BLEACHED
flour.
"Soft wheat flours intended for use in cake and cookie production are often
chlorinated to enhance baking performance by improving the functional
properties of flour components. In the chlorination process, the flour is
treated with chlorine gas'

Thanks i.nes but I know this. I'm looking for Polish equivalent for "unbleached
flour" because I want to buy it in a Polish shop. I have to know what I'm going
to ask for :-) Can you imagine this poor old lady in a corner shop when I
say: "Hello! I need unbleached flour. If you don't know, the difference between
unbleached and bleached flour is the colour...." hahaha....

Well, I could use wheat flour... but the recipe says clearly that I should use
unbleached flour...

So probably you have to ask for `ciemna mąka' or `pełna mąka' which is made
from whole grain.

Mylicie pojecia
Bleached flour jest otrzymana przez reakcje chemiczna (Chlor z maka)
Biala lub ciemna maka zalezy od procesu mielenia
Wheat flour to maka pszenna, rye f to zytnia.
najprawdopodobniej gdy kupujesz w kraju popros o biala pszenna make.
Jak napisal cynik, bleached flour jest do masowej produkcji ciastek etc i do
domowych wyrobow sie nie nadaje

Lily is looking for UNbleached flour which is NOT white :)
The recipe calls for unbleached flour - what's a Polish term for that?
I have no idea but I'd go for some sort of untreated flour.

Ditto! Thanks, Ampolion. That's my point - untreated flour.
