Actually unbleached flour is better for you than bleached flour. Bleached flour contains traces of bromides, the bleaching agent. It also does not have the nutrients that unbleached does.

The bleaching agent, Chlorine dioxide, used to bleach flour is reported to produce diabetes-causing contaminant alloxan[1] when reacting with the proteins contained in flour.

Studies show that alloxan, the chemical that makes white flour look "clean" and "beautiful," destroys the beta cells of the pancreas. You may be devastating your pancreas and putting yourself at risk for diabetes, all for the sake of eating "beautiful" bleached flour. If you eat flour, your best choice is unbleached. # ^ Lenzen, S: The mechanisms of alloxan- and streptozotocin-induced diabetes.

It lowers immune system response, creates inflammation in the body, and disrupts digestion. Consumption of refined grains (particularly white wheat flour) have been found to be linked to many so called "diseases of civilization" such as diabetes, obesity, autism, schizophrenia, depression, chronic inflammatory and autoimmune disease (arthritis, acne, chrones disease, roseacea, etc), irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, diahearra, and the list goes on.

Why does flour make cookies rise?

Flour contributes to cookies rising primarily due to the presence of gluten, which forms when flour is mixed with liquid. This gluten network traps air bubbles produced by leavening agents like baking powder or baking soda, allowing the dough to expand during baking. Additionally, the starches in flour absorb moisture and swell, further aiding in the cookie's structure and rise. Overall, the combination of gluten formation and the action of leavening agents helps create a light and fluffy texture in cookies.

What flour do you use when making shortbread?

This is the way that my Scottish great-grandmother taught my mother to make shortbread and has since been passed to me.

First you must absolutely use butter. No other fat will do. Also it is better to use a superfine sugar as opposed to regular granulated sugar. I personally use icing sugar. Any given recipe for shortbread will often have too much sugar in it. Sugar plus butter plus heat equals hard. I like to make shortbread that is so short it will just melt in your mouth. It should taste the way snow looks. Sweeten your shortbread dough till it is just sweet to taste and that is it. If the recipe calls for a half cup, I usually will put in only a third. Cornstarch is also another ingredient I like to use but it can also be replaced with rice flour. The recipe found on the back of a box of cornstarch should be just fine (just decrease the sugar).

Okay, now that all the ingredients are gathered all you need to remember is the classic french pastry rule "ne touche pas". The less contact your hands have with the dough the better. I cut in the butter with either a pastry cutter or a pair of knives. I also prefer the method of pressing the dough into a round pan Scottish style to make wedges. This is much better than rolling out the dough and cutting into shapes because there is much less handling. Score the pieces out for yourself (wedges for a round pan, fingers for a rectangular pan) and lightly prick the surface with the tines of a fork. Finally bake the shortbread for a very long time on a low heat. About an hour at 275. The shortbread should be just golden at the edges. Do not attempt to remove the shortbread from the pan until completely cooled.
