Yeast-Free Diet - What Are the Bread Options?
If you have recently decided to give up eating yeast, or you are thinking about giving it up, you are probably wondering about the bread options available. Most bread contains yeast, so it's good to know what your yeast-free bread options are, so that you know where to buy it or how to make it yourself.
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.
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 alternative to sourdough bread, and that is soda bread. Here is a nice soda bread recipe.
Ingredients:
* 6 cups of flour
* 1 tablespoon of baking soda
* One teaspoon of salt
* Two eggs
* 3 cups yoghurt
Directions:
1. Mix the flour, salt and baking soda.
2. Add the eggs and yoghurt and mix thoroughly.
3. Kneed thoroughly for about 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. - 17268
