∙ 8y agoPlain flour IS all purpose flour, so you're not only just fine - you're perfect.
When you have to watch and correct flour in recipes is if self-rising flour, pastry flour, or bread flour is called for... then you can still proceed, but you have to do some substitution:
Self-rising flour: 1 c. flour plus 1.5 t. baking powder & 1/2 t. salt
Pastry flour: Substitute 1-2 T. cornstarch for each cup of all purpose flour
Bread flour: 1 c. flour plus 1 t. vital wheat gluten (though most bread recipes will be fine with all purpose)

∙ 13y agoNo, not unless it says "all purpose rice flour". All-Purpose Flour (or AP Flour) is simply flour without leaven in it, like baking powder. Certain recipes call for Self-Rising, (with leaven), some call for All-Purpose.

∙ 10y agoNo, the reasoning behind this answer is bread flour is usually made of a different kind of wheat than used for other wheat based food. It has a higher gluten content. I use the all purpose flour and sub in 2 TB of gluten to 3 cups of A.P. flour.
If you stone grind your own wheat, it will have all the components of the whole grain.
