Yeast Free Bread – What Are the Options?
Have you recently decided to give up eating yeast? Or are you considering giving up yeast? Whichever applies to you, there is probably one question in your mind: what about bread? Well, there are a number of options available to a person following a yeast-free diet.
The majority of people with an allergy or intolerance to yeast have a specific problem with manufactured yeast, but can tolerate natural yeast. In this instance, such a person can eat sourdough bread. However, the trick is to use a proper sourdough starter which doesn’t have any added yeast.
What is a “starter”?
A starter is also known as a “levain”, and is basically an ancestral form of pre-ferment which you use to make the sourdough bread. Sourdough is the method of trapping natural yeast. Once you have your starter, you can actually make most types of bread. The only difference is there will be a different taste to the bread. This is due to the lactic acid which is produced by the lactobacilli, which gives it its sour flavour, which is where the name comes from.
However, if the flavour of sourdough bread is not your thing, then why not try Soda Bread instead. Take a look at this Soda Bread recipe
What You Will Need:
* Six cups of flour
* 1 tablespoon of baking soda
* 1 teaspoon of salt
* 2 eggs
* Three cups of yoghurt
Directions:
1. Mix the flour, salt and baking soda.
2. Add the yoghurt and the eggs. Mix thoroughly.
3. Thoroughly kneed it for approximately 5 minutes.
4. Put into two bread tins and bake for approximately 30 minutes.
By following a recipe like this and making your own bread, not only will you be able to control what ingredients are used, but you will also be able to enjoy it fresh, straight from the oven, nice and warm, the way bread should be.
There are still a lot of delicious, tasty foods that you can enjoy once you have removed yeast. Eating a yeast free diet is actually a lot easier than you might think. For FREE help with living on a yeast free diet, visit Yeast Free Diets
