You could use out-of-date flour, but - depending on the flour, the storage and how old it is - it may have become stale, rancid, developed off-flavors or picked up off odors. Your own nose will help you determine this. You can make a small test batch, too. Any storage pest development will be obvious.

If the flour was exposed to moisture it can cause the flour to clump together as well as encourace the growth of bacteria and mold; if it is jut old it may be stale due to oxidation. So the asnwer is yes it can, but it may not.

-I used old flour, maybe one year old, for Pizza dough and it did not rise very well using fresh yeast. I would not take the chance.
