If you think all flours are created equal (a.k.a. you can use whichever kind is in your pantry for any given recipe), think again!

Q: What is the difference between different types of flour? - Antoinette
A: When you see "all-purpose," all-purpose is a bread flour as well. What happens is it’s refined a little bit differently, and a bread and an all-purpose flour has more gluten in it. So you would put a cake flour in a cake batter because it’s a smoother mouth feel. [Whereas] if you get a piece of bread, it’s more chewy -- that’s the gluten inside. So it [has] a higher protein level, which is really the difference. You should always [use the flour] that [the recipe] calls for, because there is a difference. Texturally, in your finished product, it makes a difference. - Buddy Valastro
