If you have recently tried to follow a yeast-free diet, you have probably realized that a lot of yeast-free bread’s are expensive. So, what cheaper alternatives are there?

My advice would be to make your own yeast free bread. This is actually very easy to do once you know what ingredients to use. And the great thing is, it means you will have complete control over what you include in the bread. You will also be able to eat it fresh from the oven, still warm.

Here is a great recipe for you to make your own yeast-free bread.

What You Will Need:

* Olive oil or lard, for greasing

* 1 level teaspoon of salt

* 9oz/250g of plain flour

* 225ml/8fl oz buttermilk or live yoghurt

* 2 teaspoons of soft brown sugar

* 1 level teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda

How to Make the Yeast-free Bread:

1. Pre-heat the oven to 230C/445F. Grease a baking sheet with the oil or lard.

2. Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and the salt into the bowl, then add in the sugar.

3. Mix the buttermilk or yoghurt in with a wooden spoon. Then kneed it into a dough with your hands, until it’s firm and soft. If it feels too sticky or wet, just add more flour into the mix.

4. Lightly kneed the dough in the bowl for approximately 30 seconds, until it’s smooth, and then shape it into a ball, making it as deep as possible. Put onto the greased baking sheet, and cut a deep X in top with a knife. This lets the bread to expand as the soda begins to work.

5. Place the dough into the oven and cook for approximately 12 minutes. Then reduce the heat to 200C/400F and bake for a further 15 to 20 minutes. Once it’s ready, the bottom of the bread should sound hollow when tapped.

6. Leave the bread to cool for fifteen minutes, and then serve.
