Does std flour have baking flour?

You are asking if STANDARD FLOUR HAS BAKING FLOUR? Standard flour from the grocer, or if you are lucky to have stone ground flour, is baking flour. The question is: What are you baking. So if you are baking bread that needs a rising factor, you need to add some gluten into it. Bread flours are higher in gluten content. I buy the generic flour and add my own additional gluten so I don't have that many varieties of flour in the freezer. I have whole wheat, multi-grains, etc which I use for bread making as well.

Is it ok to use baking flour when making white bread?

"Baking flour" is not a familiar designation. "Bread flour" has more gluten than "all-purpose" flour, and is the best choice for bread, but "all-purpose" flour is perfectly acceptable and should produce a successful bread dough. "Cake flour" has less gluten, and is formulated for cakes and other products where a tender crumb is desired. Breads made with cake flour might not rise properly.

Why is it important to use strong white flour rather than plain or self raising flour on bread?

The gluten content of the flour determines whether it becomes a bread or a muffin/cake type of product. It is not that it is self-rising - that just means that it has some baking soda/baking powder included. That type of mixture is normally used for biscuits, muffins, cupcakes. Bread Flour and regular all purpose flour have gluten but need Yeast to become a true bread.


Can you use self rising flour instead of bread flour for bread?

If a recipe calls for self-rising flour, your recipe will not turn out if you replace it with unbleached flour only because unbleached flour does not rise. You would also need to add baking powder to the recipe (about three teaspoons per cup of flour) if you were making this substitution in order for your recipe to rise.
