All-purpose flour is the same thing as plain flour. The terms are simply different for different parts of the world. In Australia and the United Kingdom, it is known as plain flour while in the United States and Canada it is known as All-Purpose Flour. This type of flour has a lower amount of gluten protein than bread flour, but more than baking flour so it is balanced and can be used for a wide range of purposes.
