No yeast does not use up the carbohydrates, but it does consume some of them to generate the carbon dioxide to cause the dough to rise before the heat of the oven kills the yeast.
Self-rising flour does not have to have added yeast. It does not have to baked right away unless it begins to warm up.
Yes. Wheat flour is the same as Plain Flour. Unless recipe calls for whole-wheat flour, that would mean wholemeal flour.
if you mix it with other stuff like flour and sugar and salt you can get bread, without mixing it, its just warm yeast. problly a bad idea to try to heat it up.
Self-rising flour (usually) has baking powder mixed into it in a certain ratio. Baking powder is used for rising baking such as cookies, biscuits, cakes, etc. It isn't appropriate for use with yeast because yeast is a raising agent. Baking powder creates gases that bubble and puff up baking by way of a chemical reaction. Yeast is a form of bacteria that eat sugar and excrete CO2, which is a gas, that puffs up baking by way of a biological reaction. If you used self-raising flour with yeast you would have two competing forms of raising agent - and I have no idea what kind of mess you'd find in your oven afterwards!
flour or meal mixed with other dry and liquid ingredients, usually combined with a leavening agent, and kneaded, shaped into loaves, and baked
the cell wall of yeast is made up of chitin
No, totally different types of baking or end product. Baking powder and baking soda are used for quick breads that you can't really shape like you do yeast dough. You can add cinnamon or anything else to a muffin or biscuit recipe and come up with something, but it will not be a traditional cinnamon roll.
For bread baking, natural yeast is called Sourdough. You make it as follows: mix half a cup of water and half a cup of flour into a dough. Put the dough in a jar on the counter. Every 24 hours, throw half of it away and add another half-cup of flour and half-cup of water. When it froths up and smells like beer, it's ready; put it in the fridge and use it for sourdough bread.
Not your standard loaf, no. The reason that bread flour is called strong flour (or at least it is in the UK) is because it contains a lot of gluten. Gluten is the protein that holds the whole thing together when bread rises. If you don't have much gluten then your bread can't hold it's shape when it rises and will collapse. The end result is still edible, but not light and fluffy like the inside of a loaf should be, instead it will be dense and chewy. Not ideal for sandwiches!
The purpose of yeast is to raise the dough when it is cooked. If yeast is not working then, you'll end up with unrisen or flat bread.
A crumpet is a griddle cake made from flour and yeast and is eaten mainly in the United Kingdom. The term itself refers to a crumpled or curled-up cake.
