Flour can become stale. It can also pick up odors and flavors from other items stored nearby. If kept in a humid environment, it can also develop mold and mycotoxins. It could also start growing insects.

Can you Use self rising flour for all purpose flour to make bread?
Not for making yeast bread. The baking powder and soda and salt in the self-raising flour will affect the yeast and probably kill it, resulting in a bad-tasting, dense mess. Self-raising flour can be used in quick-breads, that is the proper leavening for them.
Is maida self raising flour?
No, maida is not self-raising flour. Maida is a type of wheat flour that is finely milled and used in Indian cuisine to make various dishes like bread, pastries, and snacks. Self-raising flour, on the other hand, has baking powder added to it, which helps baked goods rise.
Can you use self rising flour in a bread machine to make bread?
It can be used, although not with very tasty results. Self Raising Flour is a flour that has been pre-mixed with Yeast, although Yeast alone has a very powerful, pungent smell, its what gives bread most of its flavour. Using Strong White Bread Flour and Yeast seperately and not Self-Raising yields much better results and can be varied to suit any recipe.

Can you use normal self raising flour to make bread?
Not your standard loaf, no. The reason that bread flour is called strong flour (or at least it is in the UK) is because it contains a lot of gluten. Gluten is the protein that holds the whole thing together when bread rises. If you don't have much gluten then your bread can't hold it's shape when it rises and will collapse. The end result is still edible, but not light and fluffy like the inside of a loaf should be, instead it will be dense and chewy. Not ideal for sandwiches!
Would it be a problem if I used self raising flour when i was meant to use plain flour?

Why is it important to use strong white flour rather than plain or self raising flour on bread?
The gluten content of the flour determines whether it becomes a bread or a muffin/cake type of product. It is not that it is self-rising - that just means that it has some baking soda/baking powder included. That type of mixture is normally used for biscuits, muffins, cupcakes. Bread Flour and regular all purpose flour have gluten but need Yeast to become a true bread.
