Hi :
I am starting to bake and do so awhile back. I want to do some sourdough breads that use starters from various places. In looking at the recipes some same use unbleached bread flour others say bleached is ok. I don't want to waste money buying the wrong kind. Thanks for any advise

For bread and essentially everything else.
in the UK. It's been banned since about 1998.
Not that I'd buy it even if I had a choice, so go for unbleached - you know it makes sense!

It seems simple enough to try baking a couple of recipes with each type. If you don't change anything else, you'll see for yourself what / how much difference the flour type makes. And buying small amounts of both types won't cost much either.
Bleached flour is banned in many countries as it poses a health hazard. Given that piece of information I think it would be wise to avoid it.
