Add 1 1/4 tsp. baking powder for each cup of flour.

Bread flour may not be preferred if making biscuits, cakes, or pastries. Use cake flour or all-purpose flour for those.

No, you can not substitute self rising flour for bread flour.

Self rising flour is plain all-purpose flour with leavening agents added. Leavening agents are what make certain baked goods "rise" without the use of yeast (like muffins, cornbread, or biscuits). You can make self rising flour in your kitchen using 1 cup all-purpose flour and adding 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Bread flour is a flour with a high gluten content. Gluten is what makes bread dough "elastic" so that when the yeast begins to rise, the bubbles that the yeast produce do not pop. Gluten also gives the yeasted bread its chewy texture. All purpose flour has naturally occurring gluten, and can be used for baking bread, but the results will often be inferior, especially in a bread machine. You can make a reasonable substitute for bread flour using all-purpose flour and gluten, using the instructions on the gluten box. Gluten is available in most large grocery stores.

You would have to add baking powder to the recipe. Most things use the ratio of 1 teaspoon of baking powder to 1 cup flour.

Can you substitute bakers flour for plain flour in crepes?

If by 'bakers flour' you mean self rising flour, the answer is no. Self rising flour has baking powder which causes it to rise. With crepes, you want them to stay thin and delicate, not to rise and have a bread-like consistency.

Can you use self rising flour instead of bread flour for bread?

If a recipe calls for self-rising flour, your recipe will not turn out if you replace it with unbleached flour only because unbleached flour does not rise. You would also need to add baking powder to the recipe (about three teaspoons per cup of flour) if you were making this substitution in order for your recipe to rise.
