No, yeast and self-rising flour are two different products. Yeast is a microorganism (a fungus) that is added to flour and other ingredients to make bread dough rise. Self-rising flour is all-purpose white wheat flour that has baking powder and salts added to it, generally used to make biscuits and other quick breads.

∙ 11y agoNo. Baking soda is a leavening agent; in combination with natural acids, it makes things rise. Self-raising flour is mostly flour, which forms the body of most baked goods, plus some baking powder, which makes things rise. If you try to substitute baking soda for self-raising flour, what you get will probably be closer to soup than baked goods.

Can you use self rising flour in a bread machine to make bread?
It can be used, although not with very tasty results. Self Raising Flour is a flour that has been pre-mixed with Yeast, although Yeast alone has a very powerful, pungent smell, its what gives bread most of its flavour. Using Strong White Bread Flour and Yeast seperately and not Self-Raising yields much better results and can be varied to suit any recipe.
