The difference between "Self Rising" flour and "Flour" is simply that self rising flour has leavening agents added to it during packaging.
The way it works is the same as flour after you add your leavening agent, such as baking powder, baking soda, etc. A reaction to temperature and other conditions, whether chemical or natural causes the leavening agent in the self rising flour to produce carbon dioxide, thus forming bubbles which makes the product rise by trapping the air inside as the product solidifies.

∙ 10y agoI have just baked a loaf of bread in my Panasonic bread maker. It looks great, but only rose half its normal height, and it has a dense texture which is apparent from its weight to size ratio. It also tastes saltier than usual, obvious as the loaf is only half its normal size.
I know that this time I did something quite different from my usual routine. You see I only had self raising flour in the pantry. I thought as there is a raising agent in the s.r. flour I would halve the amount of yeast I usually add. I was worried the bread may puff up too much and create a problem in the baking mould if I used the normal amount. I have tried to find information about one raising agent overtaking the other, but have not found. I think that is what has happened. I am adventurous with recipes, and would like to try it again with the normal amount of yeast. Do I think it will get me into more trouble? probably, but I will never know unless I try.
