Bread flour has more gluten than all purpose flour. A/P flour can be used quite successfully in nearly any recipe calling for bread flour. However, the other way around does not work so well. Cakes and pastries made with bread flour instead of cake flour or all purpose flour will be tough.

You can always substitute all-purpose flour for bread flour, although your results may not be as glorious as you had hoped. There are many recipes, however, where the use of bread flour in place of all-purpose will produce a tough, chewy, disappointing result. Cakes, for instance, are often made with all-purpose flour, but would not be nearly as good made with bread flour

All purpose flour is just that all purpose - go right ahead and use it in bread making. If you were baking cake, cookies or pie I would recommend you sift it to aerate it for a better pastry.

I think the idea for bread flour is the it is ground a little finer
Sift your AP you will be surprised at the lumps.
