What can I use as a substitute for yeast in bread recipes?

My daughter is allergic to bakers and brewers yeast and I need to find a way to bake bread for her without yeast.What can I use as a substitute for yeast in bread recipes?
You can look for recipes using baking powder / baking soda instead of yeast. I will see if i can find any and re-post.





Here are some:

http://www.recipelink.com/mf/2/18597





There are more - try a search for ';yeast free bread'; (and use quotes). I got a lot more hits that way.What can I use as a substitute for yeast in bread recipes?
Some pasteries can be made with baking powder but very few.
baking powder or soda will help raise the bread and so will eggs but none like yeast so she might have to get use to ';flat breads'; dont get me wrong they are very good so enjoy
You may have to make Crackers, bread without yeast. Above sounds like a good place to start if the do have some recipes without yeast.
you can't use a substitute but you can find recipies that do not use yeast for bread. Try Foodnetwork.com for Yeastless Bread recipes or just a google search under the same heading.





Yeastless Bread Recipes
yeast is an essential ingredient.
Use yoghurt ....really sour add sodium bicarbonate and sugar ... for a pound of flour you need to use a cup of yoghurt, one teaspoon sodium bicarbonate and about 20 grams (2 Table spoons) sugar.
This website has some alternative leavening agents. Good Luck
theres a thing called native/natural yeast, the yogurt thing vsatsanga mentioned is one of them. i knew you could make natural yeast out of apples %26amp; raisins too, but i wasnt sure of the way.





luckily tho, i typed natural yeast on google and found this:


http://www.thecookinginn.com/yeast.html


they have the natural raisin yeast recipe at the bottom of the page.





hope this helps :)
You can try experimenting with other leavening agents. Such as baking powder and/or baking soda. Here's a quick link to a search for you. Good luck.

Gluten Free Banana Nut Bread


Orange Cinnamon Bread


Rice Muffins





We discovered about 40 years ago that my Mom has Celiac Disease.


Because of this she can not tolerate any gluten or dairy. Over the


years I have collected a large number of gluten free recipes. Many of


the recipes I use for her I have found on the Internet but I did not


keep track of where they came from. These are recipes that I have tried


and that my Mom likes. I try to stick to recipes that are simple and


use mainly common ingredients.








Gluten Free Banana Nut Bread





1 cup mashed ripe bananas


1/2 tsp. baking soda


1/4 cup chopped nuts


2 eggs


3/4 cup sugar


1/4 tsp. salt


3/4 tsp. gluten-free baking powder


1-1/4 cup rice flour


1 tsp. gluten-free vanilla


1/4 cup vegetable oil





Combine bananas, sugar, and vanilla in medium mixer bowl, and


beat 1 minute at medium speed. Add eggs and mix well. Combine rice


flour, nuts, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in large mixer bowl.


Add banana mixture alternately with oil to dry ingredients, mixing well


at low speed. Pour batter into two 8 x 4 inch loaf pans. Bake 50-60


minutes at 350 or until done. Cool 5 minutes before removing from pans.





NOTE: This recipe doesn't rise. The bread is only a couple of


inches thick but my Mom likes it. She says she just cuts it into thick


slices. I have also substituted zucchini for the banana. When doing


that


add a little cinnamon.








Orange Cinnamon Bread





1 cup White Rice Flour


1/4 cup Sugar


2 Tbsp. Potato Starch


1 Egg


1/2 tsp. Baking Soda


1/2 cup Orange Juice


1/2 tsp. ground Cinnamon





Lightly grease 4'; x 6'; bread pan, set aside. Mix dry ingredients


together. Add egg and orange juice, mix well. Pour mixture into


prepared


baking pan. Bake 35 minutes at 350 . Cool before slicing.














Rice Muffins





3 Eggs


6 Tbsp. Oil


1 1/2 cup Water or fruit juice


3 cup Rice Flour


6 Tbsp. Sugar


2 Tbsp. Baking Powder


1 1/2 tsp. salt


6 Tbsp. chopped nuts, 3/4 cup Chopped Dates, 3/4 cup Raisins, or 3/4


Chopped Fruit (Optional)





Mix all together with electric mixer. Bake in greased or paper


lined muffin tins for 17 to minutes at 425 . Makes 18 muffins. CORN


MUFFINS: Use 1 1/2 cups rice flour and 1 1/2 cups cornmeal.
