Want this question answered?
Flour, like yeast or starch, is used for thickening as well as rising in breads, cakes, etc.
You can use it for baking mostly cookies cakes. Not really bread though you need self raising flour for that!!! Oh and yeast!
yeast and baking powderActually, 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.
It really depends on what the flour/leavening agent/liquid mix is for. Most commonly, using something like that would be known as a poolish for making bread (flour, yeast, and water). However in making quick breads and cakes, there is no specific name for it. (Reference: Baking+Pastry Arts Graduate)
No. Plain flour does not contain yeast. Some flour mixes do.
Yeast is a natural fungus with starts to grow when temperature rises, therefore making bread larger (for example). Yeast is most commonly used in bread making, helping it to rise.
There are many different types of bread and therefore many different ingredients and recipes. Flour and water would be two ingredients in almost any type of bread, and salt and yeast would also be in the majority of bread recipes.

the difference between the two are that self rising has yeast in it. so all you have to do is get some yeast and mix it with the flour.
