It means moisture got into it some how. And it all depends how hard the
lumps. If one can take their fingers and pinch the flower back into powder
form, you can use it. I usually use a whisked and beat it. You could run it
through a strainer even.

Subject: [CnD] a question about flour
Hello,
I am not sure about this but today I was making bread. and the flour had
lumps in it. the flour was bread flour. I decided not to use it and used
all purpose flour instead because that was the last of the bread flour. I
was wondering if when the flour has lumps in it does that mean it is time
to replace it?
instead of water, I used orange juice. I have done this before. I also
put a fourth tsp of orange zest in it. This gives it a slight orange
taste but does not over power it. with the sugar in the orange juice I
think it helps activate the yeast. mabey I am wrong about activating the
yeast but I have had success in the past with it. now that I have said
that, It probably won't work this time.
Thanks in advance.
Bill Deatherage
