Another quick bread question

I accidentally bought some self-raising flour instead of plain. I want to use it up. What would happen if I used it in my bread machine? What adjustments, if any, should I make?

In Canada, our All Purpose Flour is all you need. There is also "bread flour" available, but it bakes into bread that is too light and 'spongy'. In the US you are out of luck, you have to buy "bread flour" because your all purpose flour doesn't have enough gluten to trap the bubbles that makes bread rise.

That's interesting, I didn't realize it was a regional thing.
