Related to Bread Flour
Plain Flour
Plain flour carries less protein than bread flour (around 10 to 12% vs 12 to 14%), so it gives a softer, less chewy crumb. They are close in weight (140 g vs 150 g per cup); swap 1:1 by volume in sandwich loaves and pizza for a tender, less elastic result. See what 1 cup of plain flour is in tablespoons.
Cake Flour
Cake flour is low-protein and bread flour is high-protein, so they sit at opposite ends of the wheat-flour spectrum. They differ by cup (130 g vs 150 g); they are not a straight swap, but blending half cake and half bread flour gives roughly the protein of plain flour. See our Cake Flour converter.
Self Raising Flour
Self-raising flour is plain flour with baking powder blended in, so it is lower in protein than bread flour (around 10 to 12% vs 12 to 14%) and lighter per cup (140 g vs 150 g). Reach for bread flour when a bake needs chew and structure, self-raising when it needs an even rise. See our Self Raising Flour converter.
Oat Flour
Wheat protein is what forms a loaf's gluten network, and oat flour carries none of it. A dough made only with oat flour has nothing to stretch. Use it for flavour and softness in a bread dough, never as the whole flour, and keep enough bread flour in the mix to carry the structure. See our Oat Flour converter.
