When baking, this flour is typically measured by volume or weight. It is often sifted to remove lumps and aerate the mixture, which can lead to a lighter final product. For most recipes, it is combined with other dry ingredients before being incorporated into wet ingredients. The amount of flour used can significantly impact the texture of the final baked item. Too much flour can make baked goods dense, while too little can make them spread too much.
