Does anyone use bleached flours to make their breads? I've stayed away from them in the past, mostly because it seems like one more artificial thing I don't need done to my flour.
However, my local Costco has 50# bags of bleached AP flour for $4.49, and bleached bread flour for $10. I would LOOOOVE to be able to take advantage of this kind of deal.
Thanks in advance,

I have used bleached flour for breads before. In my personal opinion, it works well enough for flavoured/ sweet breads and buns leaven with baker's yeast.
I find that sourdough don't work very well in these flours, and also, for artisan breads, i think unbleached's better.
Btw, i like the smell of unbleached flours better too. :)
