It would be fine.
Sifted flour is more airy and has about 1 ounce less per cup flour then sifted.
if you are using what is sold as sifted flour you really do not need to worry as it is compacted again before you use it ...
it depends on what the recipie calls for. but if you sift flour it adds air to it which will make the bread in your recipie lighter. if you dont sift it, it will be heavier and some recipies call for that.
Sifting flour makes a finer texture. Most flour has been sifted during processing, but it's okay to sift if you'd like. It's also okay not to sift. Sifting does make your measurements more accurate. You can also use a whisk and whisk the flour really well and get much the same results as you would from sifting.
The results are dramatic in pastry baking but usually not in any thing else.
No, in a practical sense, sifted flour cannot be unsifted. The flour would need to be left to settle down on itself which could take many months and would serve no purpose.
Sifted, or unsifted, the weight of flour required is the same.
always better to use more sifted flour
After.
It should be 160g. It means 160 grams of flour which has been sifted to remove lumps and to aerate the flour. 160 grams is approximately 5.6 ounces.
You cannot put back what has been fluffed so sifted flour and unsifted are unequal in quantity of flour. You can sift the unsifted to make an equal measure like the sifted flour. MamaPat

Yes, measure first, the dump it directly into the sifter and sift into (usually) a medium-to-large bowl where other ingredients will be/have been added. I do not believe this answer is correct. I believe one cup "sifted flour" is sifted then measured. One cup of "flour, sifted" is measured then sifted.
sifted flour
Flour is (or should be) sifted for two reasons, to remove impurities and debris like clumps and small rocks, and to aerate the flour and help it to rise slightly better. Both of these give the product a smoother and softer texture.
One cup of all-purpose flour is equal to 3/4 cups of soy flour. Before the soy flour is added, it should be sifted or stirred to prevent it from being clumpy.
Replacements or substitutes for all purpose flour are: 1 cup + 2 tbsp sifted cake flour = 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour; 1 cup minus 2 tbsp unsifted flour = 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour; 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs = 1 cup sifted all-purpose flour; 3/4 cup whole wheat flour or bran flour + 1/2 cup all purpose flour; 1 cup rye or rice flour; 1/4 cup soybean flour + 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
Yes, but the regular flour should be sifted and reduced by one tablespoon per cup.
Home cooks in the U.S. rarely sift flour any more, because the commercial flours are pre-sifted.
No but spoon it into a measuring cup as opposed to scooping it with the cup. The same with flour. When you scoop it with a measuring cup you are actually compacting it and getting too much.
