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?
Well, my advice to you would be to ditch those expensive shop-bought yeast free breads and bake your own yeast free bread at home. Not only will you be able to make it just how you like it, you will also be able to eat it straight from the oven while it's still nice and warm.
Here is a great recipe for you to make your own yeast-free bread.
What You Will Need:
* Olive oil or lard (for greasing)
* 1 level tsp salt
* 9oz/250g of plain flour
* 225ml/8fl oz buttermilk or live yoghurt
* 2 tsp soft brown sugar
* 1 level tsp bicarbonate soda
How to Make the Yeast-free Bread:
1. Pre-heat your oven to 445F/230C. Grease a baking sheet with the lard or oil.
2. Sift the flour, salt, and bicarbonate of soda into the mixing bowl, then add in the sugar.
3. Mix the buttermilk or yoghurt in with a wooden spoon. Then kneed it into a dough with your hands, until it's firm and soft. If it feels too sticky or wet, just add more flour into the mix.
4. Gently kneed the dough for approximately 30 seconds or until it becomes smooth. Then shape it into a deep ball shape. Place it on the greased baking sheet and then cut a deep X into the top using a knife. This allows the bread to expand as the soda begins to work.
5. Place the dough into the oven and cook for approximately 12 minutes. Then reduce the heat to 200C/400F and bake for a further 15 to 20 minutes. Once it's ready, the bottom of the bread should sound hollow when tapped.
6. Leave to cool for about 15 minutes before you serve it. - 31843
