Im by far no expert but I have used KA AP flour for making a basic white loaf and had no problems...with or without adding vital wheat gluten...though a little vwgluten wouldn't hurt...I think the hydration may call for a little adjustment...KA says that their AP can be used for baking bread....I'm sure your bread will be fine.
