Self rising flour, used for biscuits, pancakes and so forth, has baking soda included to create (when mixed with water) the CO2 that causes the dough to rise (fluff up). Bread flour requires the presence (usually the addition) of yeast, which ferments the starch in the flour, producing the CO2 for rising.

What is the difference between self raising flour and wholemeal self raising flour?

I'm assuming you mean whole grain wheat. Whole grain wheat includes the bran, the germ, as well as the "flour" part of the berry. It is much more nutritious.Self-rising flour is make from white flour, which is wheat that has had the bran and germ removed. This pretty much leaves dead cellulose, which they then add some chemical vitamins to, and call it "enriched". Then they add some baking powder (often-times, with aluminum in it) and call it "self-rising" flour.Better to add your own non-aluminum baking powder to your flour.
