All-purpose enriched bleached flour is the most widely used wheat flour in North America, with B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folate) and iron added back after milling. Bleaching (with agents like benzoyl peroxide) whitens the flour and matures it instantly, giving a consistent result in cakes, cookies, and quick breads.
The gold standard for American-style cakes and cookies; bread flour works better for yeast breads. Sift before using in delicate cakes for even distribution.
