2 year out of date flour pt2

[uks]

A couple of years ago I got 2 packets of flour to let go out of date, to see if they would be usable after 1 year and 2 years. These flours have not received any special storage conditions they have been stored as I brought in there bags put in a kitchen cabinet.
As a recap the first one was 1 year out of date, perfect good bread.

On to this years experiment 2 years out of date. On opening the bag no sign of weevils which is a good start, it smelled of flour and looked like flour. Mixing the dough and leaving it to raise (I should point out I also make another loaf with in date flour to compare with) I did notice that it did not rise as much as the other loaf, but it did rise. After cooking both loafs looked the same and smelt the same.
Cutting into the loaf it cut well producing crumbs, the texture looked and felt the same and by god it tasted the same.
So I would feel happy using out of date flour in the future. Hope this helps so with there preps,

The flour was allinsons strong bread flour.
