Yeast-free bread made with baking soda and buttermilk is delicious and can be made quickly, without waiting for the dough to rise. We’ll share our favorite recipe.
Yeast is a type of fungus and is often used in the kitchen as a leavening agent in baking. You can find yeast in pizza dough, bread, rolls, cakes, or other baked goods. However, not all baking requires yeast: it is possible to make bread without yeast by using different leavening agents like baking soda or baking powder instead.
There are plenty of reasons to bake yeast-free bead. Some people simply don’t have the patience to bake with yeast, others have problems digesting it. The symptoms of yeast intolerance are very similar to those of gluten intolerance. They may include stomach problems, rashes, headaches, coughs, colds, and sore throats.
We’ll show you a recipe for bread without yeast, where the leavening agents are baking soda and buttermilk. We’ll also explain how to make a dairy-free buttermilk substitute so vegans can enjoy this bread too.
