In my years of experience, I have found that substituting Bread Flour for AP Flour works fine for bread recipes. However, the Bread Flour will absorb more water and to obtain the correct dough consistency for the first rise, you will need to add more water than the AP Flour recipe calls for. Since I am a wet then dry ingredient guy, I add more liquid at the start, then add flour until the correct consistency is achieved. simple.
