Actually, there is no yeast in self raising flour. Self raising flour is flour with bicarbonate of soda and cream of tartar (tartaric acid). This causes a double action rising effect. This is essentially the same as plain flour with added baking powder.
Bicarbonate of soda and cream of tartar.
self raising flour
Actually it doesn't contain flour instead you can make flour from rice.
any cake that uses self raising flour.
There are several foods that contain baking powder. Many breads, biscuits, cakes, cookies, and other food items contain baking soda.
You can use it for baking mostly cookies cakes. Not really bread though you need self raising flour for that!!! Oh and yeast!
If you were baking a cake: Self-Raising Flour - would make it rise Plain Flour - wouldn't make it rise People use self-raising in cakes to make them bigger, but they use plain in pancakes so it keeps it thin.
Self raising flour has the salt and baking powder included. Plain flour does not.Self rising flour is a combination of flour, baking powder, and a little salt. It's not just flour.
No you use self rasing flour in cakes
Normally not. Bread flour is does not contain chemical leavening agents, whereas self raising flour does. (So you'd be adding in additional raising agents which will probably mess up the end result). Also, self raising flour has a lower protein and gluten content, when compared to bread flour; this means that if you were to make bread with self raising flour, it would be prone to collapsing and is likely to remain undderisen/crumbly.
The basic ingredients are: Self-raising flour Eggs Sugar Butter Baking powder Vanilla essence Pinch of salt
Self-raising flour has a raising agent already added to the flour.
So the cakes rise. If you used plain flour, the cakes wouldn't rise and they would be flat!
