It really depends on what you are trying to cook. Some recipes use baking *powder*. My recommendation is that you search online for this recipe to see if there are some that use baking powder. Are you trying to limit your sodium intake?

Some chemical leavening agents are baking soda and baking powder.
Can you mix baking powder and yeast?
Yes it aids in the rising. When a recipe contains baking powder and baking soda, the baking powder does most of the leavening. The baking soda is added to neutralize the acids in the recipe plus to add tenderness and some leavening.
Is there leaven in enriched flour?

Yes, baking powder is used in preparation of cakes, but few breads. Baking powder and baking soda are leavens, which cause them to rise. Three to four teaspoons of baking powder is used in making biscuits. But most breads have yeast, in some cases salt, to make them rise.
What can you use instead baking soda?
Using Baking Powder Instead of Baking Soda* You need to use 2-3 times more baking powder than baking soda. The extra ingredients in the baking powder will have an effect on the taste of whatever you are making, but this isn't necessarily bad. * Ideally, triple the amount of baking soda to equal the amount of baking powder. So, if the recipe called for 1 tsp baking soda, you would use 3 tsp baking powder. * What I do is compromise... I use twice the amount of baking powder as baking soda (add 2 tsp of baking powder if the recipe calls for 1 tdp baking soda), plus I omit the salt (which adds flavor but also affects rising in some recipes).

Can you use baking powder instead of baking soda in peanut butter bar cookies?
Hmmm. One can not substitute flour with baking powder. One can however substitute selfraising flour with ordinary flour and a few teaspoons of baking powder. (My best guess would be approx 1 teaspoon of baking powder per 150-200 grams of flour.)
What would you put baking soda in?
Baking soda is a leavening agent and is used in many different types of baked goods. Many cookie recipes call for baking soda rather than baking powder. Recipe's such as Red Velvet Cake and some chocolate cakes also call for baking soda, some along with baking powder, some as the only leavening agent. Baking soda combined with equal amounts of cornstarch and twice as much cream of tartar can be used to replace baking powder. Use about one-quarter the amount of baking soda as the recipe calls for baking powder, and then scale the corn starch and cream of tartar accordingly.
