If the flour has become rancid or stale or has picked up other flavors during storage, those could end up in the final product and ruin it.

Can you use self rising flour instead of bread flour for bread?

If a recipe calls for self-rising flour, your recipe will not turn out if you replace it with unbleached flour only because unbleached flour does not rise. You would also need to add baking powder to the recipe (about three teaspoons per cup of flour) if you were making this substitution in order for your recipe to rise.

It is best to use self-raising flour if the recipe asks for it, as it is not the same as plain flour, but you can substitute plain flour for self-raising flour provided you add raising agents like baking powder and bicarbonate of soda yourself to the flour.

Can baking flour get rancid smell?

Yes, if baking flour is too old or has been contaminated, it can develop a rancid smell. The smell might also occur if the flour is stored in an old oil container. It could absorb the odor of rancid oil if kept in an open container near old oil. In any of these cases, the rancid-smelling flour should be discarded, as the smell would spoil any product made with it.
