Expert Tips
Bread flour has a higher protein content (12-14%) than all-purpose flour, creating stronger gluten networks for chewy bread.
Use bread flour for yeast breads, pizza dough, and bagels where structure and chew are desired.
Do not substitute bread flour for cake flour - the high protein will make cakes tough and dense.
