Have been working with explosives for about 40 years, have never ecountered a baking powder bomb. Under some circumstances it could be used to make a 2 liter soda bottle type noisemaker, but baking powder is neither flammable nor explosive in and of itself.
You could use yeast instead of baking powder.
Could you please rephrase that?
you could use baking powder but its best to use dry active yeast
If you don't have baking powder when baking, your baked goods may not rise properly and could turn out dense and flat. Baking powder helps create air bubbles in the batter, which gives baked goods their light and fluffy texture.
Yes, it could melt on ice.
No.
You can substitute baking powder for baking soda by using 3 times the amount of baking powder as you would baking soda. Alternatively, you can use self-rising flour, which already contains baking powder. But keep in mind that the substitution may affect the taste and texture of your baked goods.
Baking powder is a good alternative to baking soda. Yeast isn't recommended. You really can't subsitute it. After researching on the internet I have found that this is true, baking powder would be the only substitue.
Leavening agents are the ingredients that make the baked goods rise so they are light and airy. It could be yeast, baking soda, or baking powder. Sometimes in cakes, the eggs are whipped into a froth to add air to the cake and this acts as a leavening agent.
Baking powder is not a standalone food group, but rather a leavening agent used in baking to help baked goods rise. It is a combination of an acid (usually cream of tartar) and a base (usually baking soda) along with a starch to keep them dry and prevent them from reacting prematurely. When mixed with liquid and heat, baking powder releases carbon dioxide gas, causing the batter or dough to expand and rise.
You could see if baking soda can substitute for baking powder and effect the way it smells, tastes, or looks.Roxanne Johnson
Baking powder or baking soda. Not sure which one but I think both work
