If I have no bread flour, what adjustments do I need to make using regular flour?

The difference in flour is the amount of protein. Bread flour has 12-14% protein; all-purpose has 10-12%. The higher the protein (gluten), the more the bread rises. I'm gonna go ahead and try making the bread with all-purpose flour. I think it'll be ok. We'll see!

Reduce the flour called for by 1-2 Tbsp.
But check out this link to askville.com explaining the difference between the two.

Zo's response says to reduce the flour by 1-2 Tbsp. The link provided says...Some people will add 1T extra per cup of flour when using all-purpose for bread.
