194.0. "BREAD: Yeast-Free Bread" by JETSAM::SPEAR () Fri Nov 22 1985 14:53

	HI!  I'm looking for a hearty, whole grain bread that
	uses no yeast.  Any suggestions?

Here is a hearty 'Irish Bread' made with whole wheat flour.  This is a
'regular' in our house.  I use the Cuisenart food processor to make it in,
but it can be done in a bowl.

		2 cups white flour
		1/3 cup butter or margarine

	Cut the butter into the flour until it resembles oatmeal. I do
	this in the food processor.

	In separate bowl combine:

		2 cups whole wheat flour
		1 cup raisins
		2 tsp baking powder
		1 heaping tsp baking soda
		3 tbs brown sugar

Add the whole wheat mixture to the white flour mixture. Slowly
add and mix into this:

		1 1/3 cups warm buttermilk

Knead dough for a few minutes.  Shape and place into a round greased and
floured pan.  Cut slit on top in form of an X.  Bake at 375 for 40-50 minutes
or until toothpick inserted in top comes out clean.  Enjoy.

We usually eat this in one sitting!

194.4Sourdough or SproutedWILKIE::ARDENBush, just say NO!!Wed Feb 08 1989 13:1610
If you like rye bread, most sourdough rye breads are made without yeast.  
You need to get a sourdough starter kit to grow the culture for the bread 
(it's not as bad as it sounds) and then make it.

You can also buy sprouted grain breads in any good natural food stores such
as Bread & Circus or Erewhon; these are made with the sprouted grain and
water.  I'm still working on sprouting the grains myself to make the bread.
Maybe this Spring.

    I think sourdough starter contains yeast.  The yeast is wild,
    but it's still yeast.

    All the sourdough starter recipes I've seen call for yeast.

    	Hi,
    
    I make what we call pan bread.  To one cup (per person) of flour
    add one teaspoon of baking powder and enough cold water to make
    a fairly stiff dough.  Don't mix it up too much.  Drop it into a
    greased frypan over med/low heat.  Test with a toothpick and flip
    it over when the wood comes out clean.  It's so good sometimes I
    don't even bother to put butter or anything on it.  Oh ya, put a
    little dash of sugar in the mix too.  I've never tried it with whole
    wheat flour but I'm sure it will work.
    
    	Hope this helps.

194.8Add milk and call it bannockWFOVX8::MAX_MARTIN_LI think... Therefore I am confused.Thu Jul 13 1989 08:2118
    RE: .7

    I also add some powdered milk to the mix.  It's my standard camping
    mix.  I've added chopped fruit and cinnamon for a dessert bread and
    garlic or onion powder to go with soups and stews.  It's excellent
    made with whole wheat flour.  Add enough water to make a fairly 
    runny dough and you can make pancakes out of it.  It's sorta like
    Bisquick - starting with the basic mix, you can make about a bazillion
    different things.

    I've never used a toothpick to test for doneness and have admittedly
    eaten it slightly gummy a few times.  I just fry it on one side until
    it's nice and brown and then flip it over and repeat.

    It's GREAT stuff!
