When you pore iodine on a piece of bread, the bread will turn black. Why? Because, the iodine has a chemical reaction with the starch in the bread. This method is great to find out if a food contains starch (I suggest a potato to try next!).

Iodine is used as a indicator for the presence of starch. Since flour is starch it would turn purple or blue-black, which would indicate the presence of starch.
