Any wheat flour should work. If you use all whole- wheat flour, you will end up with a heavier bread which is also a bit more crumbly. Other flours such as rice flour don't contain gluten, which is what allows bread to rise and have the texture it does. The gluten forms strands trap air and cause the bread to rise.

∙ 13y agoI have a recipe that calls for half whole wheat and half all purpose. If you are using a recipe that calls for only all purpose, I would add about one fourth more baking powder to get the same amount of rise out of the bread. You can substitute up to a third with whole wheat and keep the same baking powder amount. If you try and use only whole wheat, the bread will not rise as much and be too heavy.

∙ 14y agoYes, strong bread flour has more gluten than ordinary flour but will be fine in your banana bread although I hope it has baking powder in the recipe . It can be a bit stodgy otherwise.

∙ 13y agoYeah of course that's pretty much why it's called ALL- PURPOSE flour
Wiki User

Although banana cake and banana bread have similar ingredients, they are very different in the way they are made and how the final product comes out.

When cookie recipe calls for cake flour and you have bread flour how can you fix it?
Bread flour contains a higher percentage of gluten than cake flour. Gluten makes bread dough elastic and forms the structure of bread. Cake flour has less gluten so that the cake "crumb" is tender, not bread-like. Depending entirely on the type of cookie you are making, you might get an acceptable result with bread flour, but the texture of the cookies might be tough or chewy rather than tender and crumbly.

How much gluten is in wheat bread?
Cake flour has less gluten than bread flour, but it does contain a significant amount of gluten. While these estimates should not be taken as authoritative, cake flour contains roughly 6 - 8% protein (gluten) compared to about 11% in all-purpose flour, and about 14% in bread flour.
Is there a difference between baking flour and plain flour?
Plain flour is most likely all purpose flour. It will work just fine for bread, but bread flour is specifically blended for bread making. It has more gluten which is what forms the bubbles in bread and helps it rise better. Plain flour is milled, blended and produced slightly differently than that for bread flour. Bread flour is much more of a stronger flour, whilst plain white flour is not. Both flours (whilst bread flour being the best to use for bread), need raising agents, since the flours are heavy. The most commonly used agent is yeast, in small amounts depending on size of loaf. Better results are achieved with using bread flour. So if you want to make bread then best use bread flour for better results and much tastier well balanced bread.
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.
