Yeast-Free Bread is Expensive - What Alternatives Are There?

By Matt Bournston

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, the best advice I can give you is to bake your own bread using individual ingredients. Not only will this cost less, but it will also give you total control over what ingredients go into your bread. You will also be able to eat the bread fresh while it is still warm from being baked.

Check out this great yeast free bread recipe.

You Will Need:

* Olive oil or lard (for greasing)

* 1 level tsp salt

* 9oz/250g plain flour

* 225ml/8fl oz buttermilk or live yoghurt

* 2 tsp soft brown sugar

* 1 level tsp bicarbonate soda

How To Make:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 230C/445F. Grease a baking sheet with the oil or lard.

2. Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and the salt into the bowl, then add in the sugar.

3. Mix the yoghurt or buttermilk into the mixture with a wooden spoon, and then kneed into a dough using your hands until it becomes firm and soft. If you think it feels too wet or sticky, simply add more flour to the mixture.

4. Gently kneed the dough in the bowl for about thirty seconds, until it becomes smooth, then mould it into a ball shape, making it as deep as you can. Place onto the greased baking sheet, then cut a deep X into the top with a knife. This allows the bread to expand when the soda starts to work.

5. Place in the oven and cook for approximately 12 minutes, and then reduce the oven's heat down to 400F/200C and bake for a further 15-20 minutes. Once done, the base of the bread should sound hollow when you tap it.

6. Leave the bread to cool for fifteen minutes, and then serve. - 17269
