The Difference Bread Flour Makes
Does bread flour make a difference in your bread? Absolutely! The primary difference between bread flour and all-purpose flour is the protein content. Bread flour, like King Arthurs, has more protein (12.7%) than all-purpose (11.7%). For context, pastry and cake flours have less, about 8% to 10%, respectively. These may seem like small differences, but they have a significant effect on how the flour behaves. The protein in flour is what forms gluten in your dough, so higher protein means more gluten. More gluten translates to stronger, stretchier dough, which is critical for a tall, airy loaf of bread.
