Is bread flour the same as maida?

Baking & Technique class-q-and-abread-fundamentals

Is bread flour just another name for maida, or should a baker check the flour's protein specification before using it in bread dough? How can the recipe and the actual product label guide the choice instead of assuming that every brand of maida is equivalent to bread flour?

Not necessarily. The course distinguishes higher-protein bread flour from all-purpose flour or maida. It gives approximately 14% protein for bread flour and 10–11% for all-purpose flour as teaching examples, not guaranteed specifications for every brand.

Check the flour’s specification and follow the formula. The reference does not provide a universal home blend that turns any maida into the required bread flour.
