If you have recently tried to follow a yeast-free diet, you have probably realized that a lot of yeast-free bread's are expensive. So, what cheaper alternatives are there?
My advice would be to make your own yeast free bread. This is actually very easy to do once you know what ingredients to use. And the great thing is, it means you will have complete control over what you include in the bread. You will also be able to eat it fresh from the oven, still warm.
Here is a great recipe for you to make your own yeast-free bread.
What You Will Need:
* Lard or olive oil, for greasing
* 1 level tsp salt
* 9oz/250g of plain flour
* 8fl oz/225ml buttermilk or live yoghurt
* 2 tsp soft brown sugar
* 1 level tsp bicarbonate soda
How To Make:
1. Pre-heat your oven to 445F/230C. Grease a baking sheet with the lard or oil.
2. Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and the salt into the bowl, then add in the sugar.
3. Mix the yoghurt or buttermilk in using a wooden spoon. Then kneed it into a dough using your hands, until it is soft and firm. If the mixture feels too wet or sticky, simply add more flour.
4. Lightly kneed the dough in the bowl for approximately 30 seconds, until it's smooth, and then shape it into a ball, making it as deep as possible. Put onto the greased baking sheet, and cut a deep X in top with a knife. This lets the bread to expand as the soda begins to work.
5. Put into the oven and bake for about 12 minutes, then bring the heat of the oven down to 200C/400F and cook for another 15-20 minutes. Once ready, the base of the bread should sound hollow if you tap it.
6. Leave the bread to cool for fifteen minutes, and then serve. - 31875
