Flour
In Germany we basically have one type of flour, we use for baking and cooking. Of course, we also have other flour, e.g. type 550, and then we have spelt, rye, wholemeal flour, etc. But if you buy normal wheat flour you cannot do much wrong.
In England and America you have cake flour, all-purpose flour, self-rising flour and bread flour. So what is the difference? As the name implies, all-purpose flour can be used for almost all kinds of cooking and baking. Self-rising flour already contains baking powder and salt, so you should only use it when the recipe demands it! This website gives you a recipe for creating your own self-rising flour: for 1 cup all-purpose flour add 1 tsp. of baking powder 1/4 tsp. of salt.
Basically, you can use bread flour for bread and cake flour for cakes and pastry. More information you find here and here!
