Not that anon, but yes, flour type can influence structure of the dough. Recipes for milk bread usually call for so-called bread flour, which has a larger amount of protein and produces more gluten. Acceptable substitute is all-purpose flour, but my source says it's for those who are not sure in the recipe, so they try with all-purpose, then invest into bread flour when they are sure the recipe is good.
You should also make sure to measure everything correctly.

Not him but you really won't have time for shit, med school will really rape your ass, it's certainly not a meme. The material itself is not challenging to understand, but the sheer volume of shit you'll have to not just memorize, but to also develop enough of a familiarity with to be able to read between the lines of the clinical puzzles thrown at you on tests is absolutely staggering. Unless you know yourself to be really smart (I'm talking legit smart here, not high school smart) and are genuinely and really, really, passionate about medicine or you're some pajeet/gook soulless drone hungry for social status then med school is just not worth it.
Btw the guy sarcastically talking about 9 hours anki sessions is not wide off the mark. I myself have done so.

Flour quality moreso than flour type. Our bakery (an East Coast outfit) uses King Arthur All-purpose (bread), Pastry (Danish), and Hi-gluten (bagel, some breads) flours when not using shit local millings. In my experience, if you know the basics, what makes or breaks a decent loaf's a good oven (full top and bottom heat control, good steamer, venting, etc.), or full knowledge of what it is your working with.
