Bread flour is a hard wheat flour with about 12 percent protein. Bread flour is used for yeast raised bread because the dough it produces has more gluten than dough made with other flours. Sufficient gluten produces a light loaf with good volume. Slices hold together, rather than crumble.

What is Strong flour?
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.
Can plain flour be used in place of bread flour?
Yes, the results may be slightly different, but the bread will be good.
Is it just normal plain flour you use when making bread?
Pretty much. There are different types of flour, and bread flour is considered the best for making it, but you can bake bread with just about any type of flour.
How do you convert plain flour into all-purpose?
In most cases plain flour is identical to all-purpose flour. All-purpose flour may be used to bake bread or pastries, whereas pastry flour has a low percentage of gluten and bread flour has a high percentage of gluten. Plain, or all-purpose flour has a medium percentage of gluten.
Can you use bread flour instead of strong plain flour?
Standard-grade flour makes weaker dough and suitable for cakes and biscuits (contains approx. 10% protein); high-grade flour makes stronger dough and suitable for bread and general baking (contains approx 11% protein).
Is there a difference between baking flour and plain flour?
Plain flour is most likely all purpose flour. It will work just fine for bread, but bread flour is specifically blended for bread making. It has more gluten which is what forms the bubbles in bread and helps it rise better. Plain flour is milled, blended and produced slightly differently than that for bread flour. 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. The most commonly used agent is yeast, in small amounts depending on size of loaf. Better results are achieved with using bread flour. So if you want to make bread then best use bread flour for better results and much tastier well balanced bread.
