Out of Date Flour - Safety

It was an old bag (bit like me!) of organic wholemeal flour. I knew I shouldn't have used it so serves me right, really.BitterAndTwisted wrote: »Was it a bread-mix or flour well past the "Best Before" date you used for your bread Toxic Lemon? I've had problems with inactive yeast in old packs of bread-mix. I just treat it like plain flour and add the normal amount of yeast to it. I have an absolutely huge bag of dough mix here which should have been used up a very, very long time ago. As long as I add yeast and a bit of strong bread flour to it for the gluten my bread-maker likes it fine. Waste not, want not. Adapt and modify.
