You could use strong flour for babka, if you’re in the mood to bake. Or cinnamon buns.

There was never really a shortage in the heimishe shops, only the chain supermarkets still haven't got proper stock. Same for sugar, water and some other stuff.

IDK what "strong" bread flour is but I've used high-gluten bread flour in baking and it was fine. I wasn't making sponge or angel cake or anything similarly delicate. just try to handle the dough or batter as little as possible, as it's the handling that develops the gluten that makes baked goods tough.
