Does std flour have baking flour?

You are asking if STANDARD FLOUR HAS BAKING FLOUR? Standard flour from the grocer, or if you are lucky to have stone ground flour, is baking flour. The question is: What are you baking. So if you are baking bread that needs a rising factor, you need to add some gluten into it. Bread flours are higher in gluten content. I buy the generic flour and add my own additional gluten so I don't have that many varieties of flour in the freezer. I have whole wheat, multi-grains, etc which I use for bread making as well.
