Yes you can but the result will be a rather flat loaf as pastry and cake flour do not contain as much gluten as bread flour. Gluten which is developed by kneading the bread dough is essential to a well structured bread.

Pastry flour is most like cake flour. Both have lower amounts of gluten in them as opposed to bread flour (also known as strong flour) because it has a higher amount of gluten.
Pastry flour is a relatively low-protein flour that is often called for in making biscuits, cookies, pie crusts, and pastries. The protein content of any given type of flour determines how tender, strong, elastic, stretchy, pliable, etc., the dough is that you make with it, and also the texture of the finished bread, waffle, cookie, croissant, etc. Bread flour, for instance, weighs in between 12% an 13% protein, and helps produce wonderfully well-risen, chewy loaves of bread. Cake flour, at the low end of the spectrum, 5% to 8% protein, is much less elastic, and helps produce wonderfully tender cakes. Pastry flour is up only one notch, at 8% to 9% protein, and lets you create baked goods with a little more body and texture than cake flour, but still with the tenderness one associates with a well-made biscuit or pastry. It can be a challenge to find pastry flour. Even well-stocked supermarkets seldom carry more varieties than cake flour, all-purpose flour (9% to 12% protein), and bread flour. If you can't find pastry flour, you can mix you own by combining cake flour and all-purpose flour in a ratio somewhere between two parts cake flour to one part all-purpose and one part cake flour to one part all-purpose.

Cake or pastry flour, I have also heard it called soft flour.
It depends on the type of product you are looking at. Depending on the type of bread, you may want it softer or with more of a crust. Some qualities to look for in general are.... * Taste (bread, pastry) * Freshness (bread, pastry) * Flakyness (pastry) * Airyness (bread, pastry) * Softeness (bread, pastry) * Buttery taste (pastry) * Sweetness (pastry) * Crust (bread) * Consistency (bread, pastry) * Not too dry / chalky (bread, pastry) * Density / Denseness (bread, pastry)
Cake flour has less gluten in it. Gluten is in wheat flour. It is what gives bread it's texture and structure. cake flour is a soft summer wheat as is pastry flour regular flour and bread flours are a winter wheat a lot more gluten Cake flour is softer and more refined than all purpose flour, if the recipe calls for cake flour then do not substitute for if you do the results will not be the same.
