According to Wayne Gisslen's Professional Baking Fifth Edition, it "provides structure and bulk to most baked goods, such as cookies, cakes, breads and pastries" Flour comes in different styles and each has a different level of the two proteins, glutenin and gliadin, that form gluten when the flour is moistened and mixed. The amount of these proteins indicate how much gluten can be produced when mixed. Bread flour has the most protein in and helps create the chewiness that most people associate with bread. Cake flour has the least amount of proteins and that creates a less chewy and more delicate product, like an Angel food cake. If either flour is over mixed the gluten will over develop and make food items that have the wrong texture and create a less than desirable product.
