No - it is a carbohydrate but wheat flour has a small protein component called gluten. This protein cannot be tolerated by people with Coeliac disease or who are gluten intolerant. Flours made from different wheats or grains can have higher levels of protein - for example pea or millet flour - and they may or may not contain gluten - but they are still predominantly carbohydrate.
Proteins toughen when exposed to heat and it is the gluten in flour that becomes relaxed and stretchy during kneading; it holds in the tiny bubbles that are released when yeast is activated while the bread is rising, and it toughens during baking allowing the loaf to hold itd shape instead of sinking when you take it from the oven.

How much protein is in a pound of white flour?

How many percent of cake flour and bread flour to become pastry flour?
To create a substitute for pastry flour, you can blend 50% cake flour and 50% bread flour. This combination balances the lower protein content of cake flour with the higher protein content of bread flour, yielding a flour with moderate protein levels suitable for pastries. Adjustments can be made based on specific recipe needs, but this ratio is a good starting point.
What is the protein content of King Arthur all-purpose flour?
The protein content of King Arthur all-purpose flour is about 11.7.
What is the role for flour?
Flour contributes protein and starch to a baked products structure, the protein primarily being gluten. Flour may contribute protein and sugar for the Maillard reaction and/or yeast food for biological leavening. Flour also contains enzymes which may serve to weaken the structure.

It depends what your making. If your allergic there is many different types of flour, if you are short in some in a recipie, id have to know the recipie to make an accurate jugment on a substitute :) btw im 13
What is the difference between cake flour and regular flour?
Cake flour is a finely milled flour that is lower in protein content compared to regular flour. This lower protein content results in a lighter and more tender texture in baked goods like cakes, while regular flour has a higher protein content and is better suited for bread and other baked goods that require more structure.
What flour is in french bread?
French bread is typically made with wheat flour, specifically a high-protein bread flour or all-purpose flour. The high protein content helps develop gluten, which gives the bread its chewy texture and allows it to rise properly. Some traditional recipes may use a mixture of flour types, but the classic baguette is primarily made with Type 55 flour, which is a specific French flour with a moderate protein content.
