It depends what it is you are trying to make. When using yeast, you are usually trying to bake bread or some sort of product that is made with strong flour (i.e. a flour with a high protein - 'gluten' - content). Self-rising flour is a soft flour with a low protein content and thus the product will be more crumbly. It is more usual to substitute yeast with baking soda and some sort of acid (cream of tartar or buttermilk), or baking powder.
Yes definitely, yeast actually allows to bread to me spongy although you have to do good measurements because most self raising floors have baking powder in them already. Too much could cause the bread to have so much air and this could cause blotting.
depends on what you are making if you want bread in a shorter time use self rising flour but if you have the time you could use yeast because it takes several hours to rise
the difference between the two are that self rising has yeast in it. so all you have to do is get some yeast and mix it with the flour.
That is approximately 8 cups of flour.
If you are allergic to wheat, yeast, milk, and eggs, you can have vegan bread that is not leavened with yeast and is made with a wheat substitute like rice flour, potato flour, or sorghum flour. Many quickbreads, such as banana bread, are not leavened with yeast and have been adapted to be vegan and gluten-free.
yes pastry flour can be baked with cake flour its all flour isn't .
you can substitute yeast with curd /plain yogurt
If you add wheat gluten to your recipe, maybe a tbsp or so (depending on how much flour? tbsp per 1 or 2 cups of flour?), that will serve as a substitute. Most often you can get good results with the substitution. Bread flour has more gluten and thus holds more CO2 from the yeast to make fluffier breads.
No. Plain flour does not contain yeast. Some flour mixes do.
So my understanding is that self-rising has salt and baking flour in it that reacts with the acidic ingredients in the batter to make bubbles that help the cake rise....... so baking soda doesn't play a part in the self-rising. So no you couldn't.
flour , yeast , warm water , salt
You can use cake meal as a substitute for flour.
Flour eggs is physical and yeast to bread chemical
Yeast is a living organism. Salt, sugar and flour are compounds that are not alive.
