Does sifting flour make the finished product denser?
Less dense. Sifting is usually done before measuring so there is less flour in the finished product. There are other factors that change the density of the product, but for the flour's part, sifting would make it less dense.
Is sifting flour a chemical charge?
No. The flour stays chemically the same. Sifting mixes air with the flour and breaks up lumps.
Should you measure flour before or after sifting?
Difficult question. If you are measuring in volume (cups), the flour will be fluffier after sifting so it may end up being less than the recipe wants. On the other hand, if you scoop the flour into the cup, you can be compacting it a fair bit and end up with a lot more than the recipe wants.The "standard" way to measure flour, if you are using cups, is to give the flour in the bag/container a bit of a stir then spoon it into your level cup - that is the type with a flat top, not a glass measuring cup with a spout. Do not tap the cup flat or you'll compact it again. Overfill the cup measure then use a straight edge (knife, spoon handle) to push off the excess. Sift the measured flour afterwards.NOTE: Some recipes expect you to measure the flour after sifting it. The recipe should state this clearly. If it doesn't say so, you can probably assume you sift after.If you are weighing the flour, it won't matter if you sift before or after. If the recipe wants 4.5 oz of flour, it won't matter if it's fluffy or not, it will still weigh 4.5 ounces before and after sifting.
