What is a substitue for yeast?

Answer 1

Yeast has a very specific function, so there is no substitute.

There are different forms of yeast (compressed, active dry, instant) and these can generally be substituted for each other.

Answer 2

Nothing. Even sourdough starter is yeast. If a recipe calls for yeast as the leavening agent, it is a slow rising bread and will not work with baking soda or baking powder which are a quick rising method.

Answer 3

You can use sourdough starter. It is not a "quick fix" answer, but a new way of looking at baking. -or rather, a very OLD way of baking! You can buy commercially produced starters at most health food stores. Just follow the directions and you will be ready to go in just a few days. Check out your local library for books on using sourdough and there are lots of recipes on line as well.

Answer 4

Bread can be leavened with baking soda or baking powder. These types of bread, called "quick breads," are quite different from yeast breads.

Answer 5

You would need something to make the dough rise. Dry yeast is an option. Baking soda and salt is another, but it won't result in the same texture.

Answer 6

sour yoghurt

Answer 7

no
