Quick Bread Recipe With Baking Powder

Yep, you CAN make an amazing bread without yeast that’s just like proper bread!5 common ingredients: flour, baking powder, oil, milk and sugar.It’s a no yeast bread based on Damper, a traditional Australian bread historically made by swagmen and drovers over campfire – except we’re using an oven!

This no yeast bread is inspired by the Australian Damper, a traditional bushman’s bread made with flour and water that was cooked over campfires.

World's

Except I’ve brought it into the 21st century to make the crumb fluffier, more tender and tastier, and made it look like sandwich bread rather than a freeform loaf. (Oh, and we cook this in an oven instead of over fire!)

Yeast Free Bread

This is THE emergency bread that you make when you don’t have yeast, or you don’t have time to make yeast bread.It has a proper crumb like real bread, rather than being crumbly like muffins which many no-yeast breads are. It’s mixed in a bowl with a wooden spoon – no kneading, no rising. You’ll have this in the oven in mere minutes!

In a way that bread made without yeast will never have. But this is as darn close as you will get to a yeast bread recipe

Bread lovers might recognise this as a simplerversion of Irish Soda Bread. It’s easier because the dough is just mixed up in a bowl (ie no kneading at all) and it doesn’t require buttermilk or baking soda which aren’t pantry staples for everyone.

Basic Quick Bread Recipe

This is just like making your favourite Chocolate Chip Muffins! Mix the dry ingredients, then add the oil and milk. Mix, pour, bake!

Why use a loaf pan?Because the mixture is a very thick batter rather than a kneadable dough (like Friday’s pizza dough or focaccia). So you can’t freeform it like Irish Soda Bread. If you don’t have a loaf pan, make it in a muffin tin – well greased, 20 minutes at 180°C/350°F.

It takes 50 minutes in the oven, so I like to do half the time uncovered to get a lovely golden brown crust, then I cover it the rest of the time (otherwise the crust gets a bit thick and dark).

LOOK at that crust!↓↓↓It’s tempting to just lift the whole thing off and run away with it! (Swipe the butter while you’re at it)

TIP: Let it cool completely before slicing, otherwise it will besusceptible tocrumbling on the edges. On Day 2, it slices 100% perfectly!

Slice it up like normal bread then use it for anything and everything you ordinarily use sandwich bread for. A simple ham sandwich. Or an epic Pastrami orReuben sandwich. Grilled cheese – or cheesy GARLIC bread. Toast it and slather with jam, Vegemite, peanut butter or whatever you heart desires.

As with all homemade breads, this no yeast bread is at its best on the day it’s made. But even the day after, it’s still very, very good thanks to the touch of oil which keeps the crumb moist. Then on Day 3, a light toasting is all that’s needed to resurrect it.

It also freezes 100% perfectly – which is what I’ve done with the 8+ loaves I’ve made in the past few weeks, trying to nail the recipe. I’m going to be eating this for weeks and weeks – no complaints here!!

Recipe video above. This is a bread loaf made without yeast or any other non-standard pantry ingredients. It's as close as you will get to real bread made with yeast! It has a proper crumb like real bread and it's sliceable, rather than being muffin-like which many no-yeast breads are. Loosely based on Damper, a traditional Australian bread historically made by swagmen and drovers over campfire (except I've brought it into the 21st century!) Toggle for METRIC (weights).

Herb Quick Bread Recipe: How To Make It

1. Flour – can sub up to half with wholemeal/wholewheat. Can also use cake flour and bread flour (but using bread flour won’t give you a better result in this one, unlike yeast breads).

Self raising flour (aka self rising flour) is just plain/all purpose flour pre mixed with baking powder. Can sub the flour in this recipe with self raising flour. If you do this, skip the baking powder (don’t bother subtracting 8 tsp flour, this recipe is flexible enough).

Baking powder – I know 8 tsp sounds like a lot, but this is a big loaf we’re making here, and baking powder doesn’t have the same kick-start rising power as when you use baking soda (bi-carb) plus buttermilk, like in Irish Soda Bread. Hence we need more (but actually, 2 tsp baking powder per 1 cup flour is the standard).

2. BAKING SODA SUB – (aka bi-carb) use 2 tsp baking soda PLUS add 1 tsp white vinegar when you add milk (vinegar activates baking soda).

3. Salt –Table salt are finer grains than cooking/kosher salt so 1 tsp table salt is more salt than 1 tsp cooking salt. So if you only have table salt, reduce to 1 tsp, otherwise your bread will be too salty.

No

4. Milk – anything will do, low fat, full fat, power reconstituted, non dairy (I’ve used soy and almond milk, so confident others will work just fine). Also works with WATER but the crumb is not quite as tender.

5. Loaf pan – the mixture is a like a very thick muffin batter rather than a kneadable dough, which is why we can’t freeform it. You could bake it in a 20cm/8″ round or square pan (it will be slightly less tall), it might takes slightly less time to cook because it’s not as high.

I believe you can make great food with everyday ingredients even if you’re short on time and cost conscious. You just need to cook clever and get creative!This no yeast white bread is super easy to make. It is perfect if you have run out of yeast, your yeast has expired/died or you need to make bread quickly. No yeast bread is also very appropriate for beginner bakers who don’t have the equipment (i.e. bread machine or kneading machine), time and/or experience to deal with slower rising bread yeast. FYI – This bread uses baking powder as its leavening agent (not yeast).

Keto Almond Flour Bread

However, please be aware that this no yeast white bread is NOT like the packaged sandwich bread made by huge food manufacturers. No yeast means NOT airy & fluffy. Rather, it is a homemade bread with a crunchy exterior and buttery & denser interior. Your family will enjoy slices of this bread covered with butter or cream cheese, dipped in olive oil, etc. No yeast breads are better as a side dish or “emergency” bread (i.e. you have run out of yeast). This recipe does NOT create a sandwich bread.

This recipe takes me roughly 10 minutes to prepare and clean up. Please be aware that this is an oven-baked recipe. It is not made with a bread machine.

Yes, you can definitely make delicious bread without yeast. You will need to use a different leavener such as baking powder, baking soda, eggs, etc. They help a bread to rise and create an airier/fluffier interior. Or you can create unleavened “flat” breads (such as tortillas) that do not use yeast or any other type of leavener.
