Yes you can because the recipe says so.
I would just try it to see how it works. It shouldn't taste THAT different. If not, then spend $4.99 on a bag of all purpose flour.
When you say plain flour, I think you mean all-purpose flour. The only thing in all-purpose flour is ground wheat. Self-rising flour has salt and baking powder in it. Most recipes call for using all-purpose flour.
Yes. All-purpose flour and unbleached flour are usually the same thing. Just be sure that the package doesn't say something like 'self rising', 'bread flour', or 'cake flour' - those ARE NOT all-purpose flour.
If the question means to say "self-rising flour," then the answer is yes, as long as you adjust the amount of baking powder and/or baking soda in the recipe. self-rising flour should not be used for foods other than raised baked goods.
Plain flour most likely is AP flour and I say yes at any rate.
yes, it tastes the same but in other things i would say not.

It's a very fine corn flour. Some sources say it is a fine rice flour, some say it is a fine wheat flour, some even say it is cornstarch or wheat starch. I'm just passing on what I personally have been told. I will try the recipe several times using corn flour, rice flour and cornstarch to see which one is better for the recipe I will be using. Thank you very much for the information. It is most valuable.
The store mix has to list the ingredients and be specific. Wheat flour instead of Oat, Rice, Buck Wheat or some other type. Plain flour means all purpose, not self rising, cake or bread flour. All purpose or plain flour being wheat flour.
I like to stir mine with a long teaspoon before measuring it, to make sure it isn't packed down, if you use too much flour in say a cake or muffin recipe it will be heavy. Some people use a chop stick for this purpose also.
Yes, but be careful when using it. Many people say that it's more dense than white flour and will alter a recipe. Others say that white spelt, specifically, is actually lighter.
Bakers flour has a higher concentration of protein then flours like all purpose. So, this creates more gluten which make bakers flour good for things like bagues. Most packages say what type it is, but if not then just look for one with a protein content greater then the average all purpose. Hope this helped.
