All-purpose flour = plain flour, a ground wheat flour with a protein content between 10 - 12 percent. This is the general purpose flour used in most baking and cooking recipes.

Flour is a finely ground powder prepared from grain or other starchy plant foods and used in baking. Although flour can be made from a wide variety of plants, the vast majority is made from wheat. Dough made from wheat flour is particularly well suited to baking bread because it contains a large amount of gluten, a substance composed of strong, elastic proteins.

All purpose flour is blended wheat flour with an intermediate gluten level.
