¿Qué es Unsifted Flour?
Flour that has not been passed through a sieve or sifter, retaining its natural compactness and any larger particles, requiring careful measurement by weight for accuracy.
"Most modern recipes assume unsifted flour measured by dipping and sweeping, but older recipes often specify "sifted," a distinction crucial for proper hydration and texture."
