"Baking flour" is not a familiar designation. "Bread flour" has more gluten than "all-purpose" flour, and is the best choice for bread, but "all-purpose" flour is perfectly acceptable and should produce a successful bread dough. "Cake flour" has less gluten, and is formulated for cakes and other products where a tender crumb is desired. Breads made with cake flour might not rise properly.

Bread flour is much more of a stronger flour, whilst plain white flour is not. Both flours (whilst bread flour being the best to use for bread), need raising agents, since the flours are heavy.
