Bread flour seems hard to get right now. We've tried various things to eke out supplies, including:
* mix bread flour with white flour - 1/2 and 1/2
* mix bread flour with oats - 3/4 to 1/4
* mix white flour with brown flour
Some of these have been fairly successful. The oat mix was a bit of a surprise - though perhaps not to be preferred to regular bread.
We have had some disasters - perhaps some of the flour was too old.
Also we found that putting certain types on a list for home delivery was a bit hit and miss. I think one week we wanted white bread flour, but it didn't arrive, and something else was substituted. The following week we assumed that there'd be a substitution, so ordered a different variety. Guess what! We got what we actually wanted the week before. The two Ronnies spring to mind.
