Can I use all-purpose flour instead of bread flour?
Yes for casual baking — texture will be slightly less chewy. Add 1 tsp vital wheat gluten per cup of all-purpose to mimic bread flour's higher protein content.
Follow-up questions
Cake flour substitute?
1 cup all-purpose minus 2 tbsp plus 2 tbsp cornstarch, sifted well. Not identical but works.
Self-rising vs all-purpose?
Self-rising = all-purpose + baking powder + salt. Substitute with 1 cup AP + 1.5 tsp baking powder + 1/4 tsp salt.
