| Yeast Free Bread Recipes???
Posted: 5/14/2008 6:35:50 PM | I did look to see if any were posted prior - but, no.....and I did google this but all it had were recipes that were baking powder or soda bread. I know there is something out there that has bread that is yeast free and rises (usually for 12 - 24 hours) - does anyone have a recipe??
Thanks | |

Salt Rising Bread- You should probably read this stuff yourself.

Posted: 5/14/2008 8:09:57 PM | It sounds like maybe you are looking for a real sourdough bread. If so, and you don't want to use a starter, is it possible (but risky) to use the natural yeasts in the air.
Two ways: with or without starter.
Without: The recipe is the same as for yeast bread, use the same proportions of everything but don't add yeast. Leave the dough out, uncovered, for natural yeasts to settle onto the dough. Knead it after about 2hrs or so. Within 12 hrs there should be some activity there, and the dough will rise some. Knead it again, and let rise. It should look like nicely risen bread dough after 24hrs. Bake it.
With starter: (its been a while since I've made this, so bear with me)
Get starter from some source - friends? cooking club or school? online? somewhere.
It will look like about a cup of flour/water slurry in a mason jar, with active yeast in it. Bring it to room temp and feed it. Add a cup of flour and a cup of water, mix. Let this sit in a warm place, loosely covered for several hours (sorry, don't remember how many)
Make your bread dough, including one cup of starter. Feed your starter again, let it sit again, and refrigerate until next time. Let the dough rise for 12hrs, knead, rise another 12 hrs, bake.
A good starter will contain a strain of natural yeast, and some of them are very very old and may come from some historic location. These yeasts are much slower than the commercial ones. The long rising time gives the bread that sour taste.
If you live nearby to a commercial bakery, the yeasts in the air probably came from the bakery, and will be a modern, vigorous yeast strain. Lucky you. If not, you'll get whatever you get, and its possible to get nothing at all, the dough will spoil and/or get moldy. Hence the risk.
Good luck, and while it may sound difficult and complicated, its probably easier than dating. | |

Going to try the one without the starter as well
Thanks guys! | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 8:27:22 PM | Hi
I am not sure about the yeast part ( I do not know if it takes it I believe not been to long ago) but there is a bread called Friendship bread you use starter it isn't a sour dough bread also the other name for it is Amish Friendship Bread:) This is one you can add to after you get the start and get it ready for the oven:) Hope you like it
Then there is one called Bishop's Bread but it seems more cakelike very rich I made that one once and still can taste it that was like close to 25 yrs ago seriously it was good but really rich 
Have a great day  | |

Posted: 5/14/2008 8:30:43 PM | I assumed you were looking for "yeast free" recipes. I have never had any luck with sour dough starters. The really good sour dough bread is made from starters that have been passed down for generations. There is a place in San Fransisco that has starter that has been "growing" since the gold rush. I get tired of it after a few months, and toss it. Now that I have more time and space, maybe I will give it another try. If I could make good sour dough bread, I wouldn't eat anything else. It makes killer pizza crust.

Posted: 5/15/2008 7:13:43 AM | When I was making bread and the wee rugrats wanted to help, this is the recipe I gave them - it was easy for plus they gobbled it up the same day.
Yeast Free Bread
2-1/2 cups self-rising flour
3 tbsp. white sugar
1 (12 fl. oz.) can or bottle lemon-lime flavoured carbonated beverage – Sprite, 7/Up
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease one 9” x 5” loaf pan. Combine the flour, sugar and carbonated beverage. Mix well and place into the prepared pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes.
Note: If using a sweetened carbonated beverage cut back on the sugar a little. | |

Posted: 5/15/2008 8:03:05 AM | | Is it the carbonation that helps? Or is it just the liquid you chose to put in it? Would it work with say coconut milk? | |
|

Posted: 5/15/2008 8:51:51 AM | The carbonation from the soft drink stimulates the leavening in the self-rising flour. Forgot to mention, the loaf doesn't brown that well but if you slice it thin it makes awesome toast.
Note: Can also use seltzer in place of the soft drink. | |

Posted: 5/16/2008 7:58:02 AM | | ..OK..here's my question...are you looking for a bread that's totally without yeast in the dough?...Is there an allergy issue or something?..Otherwise there are a lot of things that make bread rise...Beer would be one of them...you use the yeasts in the beer to make it rise...Let us know what you truly mean....No yeast at all...or just alternatives to baking yeast. | |
|

Posted: 5/17/2008 3:22:05 PM | One that is totally without yeast (starter, beer etc) Going to try the one that has nothing and still used the origional recipe but longer rising.
Thanks all | |

| Yeast Free Bread Recipes - I did it!!
Posted: 5/26/2008 7:36:27 AM | I did it!!!!!! Made the bread without use of any yeast, baking soda or sponge!!!
And guess what! It turned out great!
It did take the whole 20 hours from beginning to baking - not bad, just left the first and second rising/resting times in the oven with just the light turned on. Second rising in the pans was only about 8 hours - got impatient to bake it, but I think it rose as much as it was going to. It doesn't rise as high as yeast/levened induced bread, but the texture is great for toast, nice and dense. I used an old Mennonite recipe and just left out the yeast.
Try it sometime. | |

Posted: 5/27/2008 12:14:04 AM | YaAaaay Blue are you going to post the recipe? 'Cause even though it took 20 hours, you weren't working on it the whole 20 hrs, so it's doable, right?

Posted: 5/29/2008 7:04:55 AM | Sure...Here's the recipe I used
Menonite Whole Wheat Bread
ps: I used my electric mixer for this recipe as well - easier, quicker than hand and less messy
3 c warm water
2T molasses
2T melted lard or veg shortening (you can use veg oil as well - best is canola or corn oil)
*combine these three until dissolved in the mixing bowl of the blender, then add slowly to this as the blender is on #2 setting of rotation..
Combined ingredients of:
3c stonned ground whole wheat (I used a multigrained four mix)
2tsp salt
*let this mix 1-2minutes until at a 'sponge' consistancy, then gradually add...
4-5 cups of unbleached white four
*stop blender arm between each cup of four to scrape the sides of the blender's bowl and keep at #2 level of rotation. When the dough appears soft, workable and pulls away from the sides of the bowl, turn out onto floured surface to knead until smooth and elastic. Approx 8-10 min. Round into a ball and place into a warm bowl brushed with veg oil. Brush oil over top and cover with saran wrap to let rest in warm, draft free area (I used my oven with the light turned on for this time)
This will not rise greatly, but does spread-rise within the time allowed (I let mine sit overnight leaving the oven door closed to prevent drafts) Next day...remove from bowl splitting into two balls. Knead 1-2 min on floured surface and shape into loaf form. Place into greased or oiled bread pans and brush oil on tops of loaves. Place back into draft free place and let rise. These loaves will not rise as high as yeast loaves, but withing 8-10 hours they do double.
Bake at 375F for 35-40 min.
* They are dense in texture and heavier than reg. yeast loaves. Make wonderful toast!!

Posted: 5/29/2008 11:54:06 PM | Wow Thanks I can hardly wait to try it. Hmmm I just reread it and saw that it's part WW and part white flour. Well, I'll give that a try then I'll see if I can accomplsh the same thing with all whole wheat. I'm so used to making things with WW flour that I sometimes forget that's what it is. I have a grinder and have it set to super fine so it is the same texture as white flour, not at all coarse. I forgot recentlyand made a carrot cake for a friend's birthday not even thinking about it. I was horrified when I went to give it to him because he might not like whole wheat. Lucky for me he did. Whew!! The texture of the cake was just like when it is made with white flour, but it had a nutty flavor of course. I have to reset the grinder when I want it cracked for cereal etc.

Enjoy | |

Posted: 5/30/2008 6:49:41 AM | Out of yeast or turned off by the price? Here's how to make an effective and inexpensive yeast substitute.
Prep Time: 2 minutes
Ingredients:
Baking soda
Lemon juice
Preparation:
1. Add all ingredients according to the recipe.
2. Then, add in equal parts baking soda and lemon juice to equal the amount of yeast called for in the recipe.
3. Bake as usual.
Tips:
1. Dough does not need rise time when made with yeast substitute.
2. The baking soda and lemon juice need to be added last for the reaction to work properly.
3. For best results, use fresh baking soda. | |
