Why is it important to use strong white flour rather than plain or self raising flour on bread?

The gluten content of the flour determines whether it becomes a bread or a muffin/cake type of product. It is not that it is self-rising - that just means that it has some baking soda/baking powder included. That type of mixture is normally used for biscuits, muffins, cupcakes. Bread Flour and regular all purpose flour have gluten but need Yeast to become a true bread.

Normally not. Bread flour is does not contain chemical leavening agents, whereas self raising flour does. (So you'd be adding in additional raising agents which will probably mess up the end result).

What is a raisng agent?
A raising agent is a liquid or powder that helps things such as: bread, cakes and scones rise. Things like bread rely on raising agents to ensure they have the right texture and form. The raising agent gives off carbon dioxide when it is heated up this forces the mixture to rise. Acidic salts also have this effect when added into a mixture such as bread. However they cause the mixture to rise at temperatures as low as 15 degrees Celsius.
