Lubella Pelne Ziarno wholegrain wheat flour - can I use instead of strong wholemeal bread flour in bread maker?

[GreenBacon]

My wife bought it at the start of the first lockdown from a Polish shop and it's about to go out of date.
Can I use it in a bread maker instead of strong wholemeal bread flour?
If not, what UK type flour is it closest to?
Thanks

"Strong" wholemeal flour is flour with additional gluten, which improves the texture of bread. It's fine to use non-strong flours for bread, the texture will be a little different but it will taste fine. Go ahead.

Strong flour doesn't have added gluten it's a different type of wheat which has more gluten naturally. It makes lighter bread because the gluten stretches to make the bubbles of air but plain flour will be OK just a little closer textured.

Flour is fine after the use by date, I wouldn't panic into using it up.

I think soda bread is made with standard flour, or something like chapattis, so that might be an alternative use for it?

thanks for your replies.
I did actually try it in my breadmaking machine this morning and it didn't come out well. I don't think it rose ...

Is it possible that it is self-raising flour? I have no idea what the Polish for self-raising is. SR flour has added baking powder which might affect the action of the yeast - I don't know.

You could make soda bread; that uses ordinary flour.
