In the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, it’s called plain flour, while in the US and Canada, it’s known as all-purpose flour.

Self Raising Flour Calculator

Cake flour is softer and lower in protein than plain flour (around 7 to 9% vs 10 to 12%), giving a more tender crumb. It is lighter per cup (130 g vs 140 g); for a quick stand-in when out of cake flour, sift 1 cup of plain flour with 2 tablespoons removed and replaced with cornstarch. See our Cake Flour converter.

Bread flour carries more protein than plain flour (around 12 to 14% vs 10 to 12%), giving stronger gluten and a chewier crumb in yeasted bakes. It is slightly heavier per cup (150 g vs 140 g); swap by weight in pizza, sandwich loaves, and bagels for a more open, chewy texture. See our Bread Flour converter.

Self-raising flour is plain flour with baking powder already blended in, matched in weight per cup (140 g each). Use the self-raising flour calculator to make your own from plain flour, or swap to plain flour and add your own leavener. See our Self Raising Flour converter.
