Cakes and biscuits are made of low-gluten flour, which can ensure the crisp taste. Bread is made of high-gluten flour, which is one of the keys to fine texture and large bulkiness of bread. I'll tell you another way: grab a handful of flour, knead it into pieces with your hands, and loosen your hands. If the flour is released immediately, it proves that the gluten is high. If it is still a lump, it means that the gluten is very low.
