Yeast-Free Living - What Are the Bread Options?
Starting on a yeast free diet isn't easy. Yeast is in a lot of common foods, and avoiding yeast can sometimes be difficult. The main problem is with bread, as normal bread contains yeast to make it rise. However, there are a lot of yeast free breads available in health food shops. You can also make your own yeast free bread.
Most people who have a yeast intolerance are actually intolerant to manufactured yeast, but are okay with natural yeast. A person with that kind of intolerance can usually eat sourdough bread. The key to good sourdough bread is to use a good sourdough starter, one which doesn't contain any added yeast.
But What's 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, there is another type of bread you can make, and that is Soda Bread. Check out this great soda bread recipe
What You Will Need:
* 6 cups of flour
* One tablespoon of baking soda
* 1 tsp of salt
* Two eggs
* Three cups of yoghurt
Directions:
1. Mix the flour, the baking soda and salt.
2. Add in the eggs and the yoghurt. Mix well.
3. Thoroughly kneed it for approximately 5 minutes.
4. Place into 2 bread tins and bake for approximately thirty 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. - 17269
