Differences between flours
Whats the difference between these flours? Like cake flour and all-purpose flour? Is bread flour the same as all-purpose flour? What about self-rising flours?

As the link indicates, it all comes down to protein content. Lower = fluffier, higher = chewier.
Cake flour has the least protein, bread flour has the most and "all-purpose" serves as a compromise (good for cookies/biscuits = light & chewy).
Self-rising is all-purpose flour with baking powder and salt already mixed in.
