This is sometimes called "bread flour". It is flour with a higher gluten content. Gluten is essential for the structure of bread; stretching to trap air bubbles as the yeast ferments. Plain flour is sometimes used in breadmaking when a specific gluten content needs to be achieved, but it is rarely used without the addition of strong flour.
