Baking with Bread Flour and Plain Flour
Hi everyone, I'm quite new to bread baking and was curious whether it is acceptable to mix bread flour with plain flour to get a light, airy interior with a crispy outer crust, similar to a banh mi baguette.

Sokha, I use organic unbleached all-purpose (plain) flour for everything -- yeast bread, sourdough bread, baguettes, laminated dough, cakes, pasta, everything. It makes my life a bit simpler to have just the one flour in my cupboard. No bread flour. No cake flour. (I keep my gluten-free flours and whole wheat flour in the freezer.)
Thanks Jean, this is helpful! :)
As with the previous post, I use AP flour except for cakes where I use lower gluten cake/pastry flour. I used use bread flour but did not notice much difference at all with King Arthur AP flour.
Thank you! I'll give AP flour a shot next :)
