Similar to what?

Bread was baked for a very long time by home bakers before anyone ever
heard of bread flour, high protein flour, or any of the myriad types of
flour on the supermarket shelves today.

I bake white bread with all purpose flour. I bake whole wheat bread
with a mixture of whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, and some vital
wheat gluten if I think about including it.
