∙ 13y agoThe term "strong plain flour" is not used in the U.S., so it is difficult to understand the question. Bread flour has more gluten than all-purpose flour, so it is used for making bread and other products where a chewy texture is desirable. Bread flour is not recommended for cakes, pie crusts or other pastries where a tender, flaky texture is needed.
