Flour?

[my4boys2002]

Do you use regular flour or bread flour? I'm still searching for a bread recipe for sandwiches that everyone likes. I bought bread flour to try this week but it was more expensive

I use the whole wheat flour from trader Joe's. We don't do anything white

I used a baking flour, Seal of Minnesota brand.  The Amish in the area use it for all of their baking needs, even bread.

I use bread flour and whole wheat.

I use all purpose flour for regular bread. I also have whole wheat, bread flour, and high gluten flour.

Does it make a diff what flour you use?

[tomsMom2008]

I use all 3

Not much difference between all purpose and bread flour to me.

What do you use high gluten flour for and what does it do diff then the others?

I use bread flour. DH and I think it makes the bread lighter.

It will make a difference but only in texture. 

Yeast works with gluten.  All flours have it, but bread flour has the strongest gluten protein strand.  You'll get the best results with bread flour.  Whole wheat flour's gluten strand is not as easily accessible to the yeast, unless it's specifically for breads, and it will take longer to give you a coarse, dense rise, which is why some recipes call for added wheat gluten.  All purpose flour's gluten strand is weaker.  You'll get a coarser, weaker texture.
