Can self-rising flour be used for baking other than bread?
You can use self-rising flour in any recipe that also calls for baking powder. When you do use self-rising flour be sure to omit baking powder, salt and baking soda if in the recipe.
Can you mix baking powder and yeast?
Yes it aids in the rising. When a recipe contains baking powder and baking soda, the baking powder does most of the leavening. The baking soda is added to neutralize the acids in the recipe plus to add tenderness and some leavening.
Can you use self rising flour instead of bread flour for bread?
If a recipe calls for self-rising flour, your recipe will not turn out if you replace it with unbleached flour only because unbleached flour does not rise. You would also need to add baking powder to the recipe (about three teaspoons per cup of flour) if you were making this substitution in order for your recipe to rise.
Can self rising flour be used to bake a cake if you do not have plain flour?
Yes, you can use self rising flour to bake a cake. Just leave out any baking soda, baking powder or salt called for in the recipe, as these are already included in self rising flour.
Can baking powder and baking soda both be used in the same recipe will they fight each other?
Baking powder and baking soda are often used together in recipes in order to add lift to the final product. Because baking soda is a base and commercial baking powder is generally slightly acidic, they are often used together to neutralize both each other the other ingredients of the recipe. Yes baking powder and soda can both be used in the same recipe.

No, they are not interchangeable. I am not sure about the rising each would produce, but the taste would definitely be different.
Can you convert self rising flour into all purpose flour?
No, self-rising flour cannot be converted back into all-purpose flour. Salt and a leavening agent, usually baking powder, are added to regular flour to make self-rising flour, and cannot be removed by any practical method.
Can self rising powder substitute for all purpose flour?
If the question means to say "self-rising flour," then the answer is yes, as long as you adjust the amount of baking powder and/or baking soda in the recipe. self-rising flour should not be used for foods other than raised baked goods.
When you use plain flour instead of cake flour do you not have to add baking powder?
Follow the recipe for the amount of baking powder to use whether your using regular flour or cake flour. Neither of them have baking powder, unless it is "self rising" which means leavening is included.
If you want to make banana bread and the only flour you have is self rising do you still add the soda and salt that the recipe calls for?
It depends on the recipe. Self-rising flour already has baking powder in it, but if the recipe has acidic ingredients, such as buttermilk or sour milk, it may still need some baking soda to rise properly. You will need to make an educated guess.
You don't have any baking soda and you need it for banana muffins?
If you are using self rising flour, you do not need baking powder, soda or salt. You can safely omit these ingredients from the recipe.
Can self rising flour be substituted for all purpose flour?
Yes. Just adjust the measurements of baking powder and/or salt to work with the amount that comes in the self-rising flour. Usually, the self-rising flour doesn't have enough baking powder for the normal cake recipes.
