Everything but sandwich bread

We make all our breads except we buy about 6 loaves of week for sandwiches. So that means all our quick breakfast breads, rolls etc.for dinner, snack breads...

Bread without yeast?

Hi Tammy,
I can't eat yeast so I don't bake bread anymore. Do you know of any way to make bread without using yeast (other than quick breads, etc.)? I seem to do fine with other ingredients like baking soda, baking powder, cream of tartar, etc.

Since I can't eat yeast bread, I just come here and drool at the pictures on your blog. :) I do really miss it though.

Not Tammy, but would sourdough bread work for you?

You don't use storebought yeast. Flour, water, sugar and salt make up a starter that "catches" wild yeast and allows it to grow in a warm environment. This link will be more helpful: http://www.io.com/~sjohn/sour.htm

Check out Elana's Pantry almond flour bread without yeast!

Thank you

I don't think sourdough would work (used to love that too) because it's still fermented. Thank you for the helpful replies.

Yeast problem

What about something like Soda Bread? Irish soda bread is good and you do not have to put raisins in it.
We used to make it at the bakery with and with out the dried fruit.
Just an idea.

I voted "sometimes"

...however, I would say that I make most of our bread. I don't mind buying a loaf if I am having a stressful week, or when I had 25 people visiting from out of town, so I didn't vote always. We don't have a bread machine, and I don't think I want one taking up room in the kitchen. My husband takes a sandwich everyday for lunch, and prefers homemade bread. We purchased a wonderful knife from Cutco three years ago to slice our bread, and since then we haven't had to buy "sandwich" bread anymore. I make 4-6 loaves a week, with some fancier dessert things once or twice [cinnamon rolls, challah, etc]. Plus a pizza night, and whatever rolls we need.

I voted always

...but this is a fairly new development in our home. Keeping up with the demand may be a challenge.

I voted Sometimes

because-- In the past 6 weeks--I have bought a LOT of bread-- however this week I found a recipe on Laines Letters that I love-- it is light and PERFECT for sandwiches!! So next time this question comes up I want to be able to say ALWAYS!!

I voted always but we use a gluten-free mix

My fiancé bakes our gluten-free bread using Pamela's bread mix (sorghum-based). If I bake it, it never comes out as well. We use a Breadman bread maker. It is awesome as grilled cheese (we use a George Foreman to make "paninis" with fontina cheese (melts so well), red peppers, and spinach and also roast beef with spinach and mayo. Delicious!! Also, this bread is much cheaper, softer, and tastier than the gluten-free bread available in stores (almost all of which is frozen and shrunken).

I voted always, but...

Occasionally in the summer I will buy a loaf. When the kitchen is over 30 degrees, and super humid, I am not turning on the oven! I try to bake enough on cool days to last, but if I run out, then I will buy some.

6 loaves and counting!

I would love to make all our own bread, but I haven't reached that point yet. This week I attempted to make all of it, but this morning we used store bread for toast. :( It's only Thursday, and I've already made 6 loaves. This is getting to be quite time-consuming, but I like it! ....I think. Ask me again 50 loaves from now. :)

celiac

Yes, we make our own bread. I'm a celiac and my guy is diabetic. My dad loves to make regular bread, so I grew up thinking it wasn't too weird, just difficult (for gluten-free).

Always

My children are used to homemade and think store-bought bread tastes funny.
