I have found gluten expensive enough that I want to use it as infrequently as possible -- a good trick up here at 4000 feet. You'll succeed if you buy all purpose flour and use it for bread, rather than try to doctor up soft cake flour and end up with a inelastic lumps with a poor (if not nonexistent) rise.
