The only honestly yeast-free bread is lavash and its varieties in Caucasian and Asian cuisine. But it's still not quite bread - no crumb, no crisp. If the crumb is loosened, has pores, then the bread is definitely cooked with yeast - pressed, liquid or as part of a sourdough.
This is how the morning of the famous London chef Sam Clark begins - he bakes fresh bread on sourdough for visitors to his restaurant (see video). Sourdough is the oldest way of baking. A small piece of sour (fermented) dough is added when baking bread as a natural leavening agent.
Most often, sourdough is made from flour and rye malt(a mixture of sprouted and ground grains). Sourdough contains yeast and lactic acid bacteria. They cause the sugar in flour to break down into alcohol and carbon dioxide. The dough begins to ferment, accumulating nutrients and saturating future bread with amino acids, vitamins and minerals. If you knead cool, sprinkle with flour and store in a cool place, there will be nothing for sourdough for many years. It can be updated by adding a little flour and water. For example, Sam's wife made this starter 13 years ago from flour and crushed grapes.
If Sam Clark suddenly decided to sell his bread with us, he would probably be advised to write “yeast-free” and “fruit sourdough” on the label so that, God forbid, they would not think that it contains Russian-made baker's yeast. And they would tell a story about genetically modified yeast, which is poisoned by Russians. Nowhere, except in our country, you will not hear this.

This video, roaming the Internet, is worthy of a Stephen King horror book: supposedly Russian-made industrial baker's yeast is a powerful poison. They contain toxic substances like sulfuric acid, formalin, bleach, hydrochloric acid, and even liquid detergent"Progress".
Unlike "wild", natural, yeast in sourdough, they are resistant to high temperatures and do not die during the baking process. Getting into the body along with bread, poisonous yeast allegedly activates the fermentation process in the body, destroys healthy microflora and eventually leads to dysbacteriosis, candidiasis, kidney stones and oncology.
There is not a single serious scientific study confirming that baker's yeast survives after baking. “I have been engaged in microbiological research of bread for more than ten years,” says Tatiana Bykovchenko, head of the microbiology laboratory of the GNU GOSNII of the baking industry. – We carried out microbiological cultures to identify various groups of microorganisms, including yeast, in different types bakery products and no yeast has ever been found - neither baker's nor "wild". Any yeast will die at 60°C. When baking bread, the temperature in the oven is more than 200 ° C, in the center of the crumb - 95-98 ° C.
"Wild" vs industrial
Thinkstock/Fotobank.ru
Both "wild" and industrial yeast are of the same species, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. "Wild" are present in almost any food - apples, pears, grapes, tomatoes, cucumbers, berries, herbs, cheese, meat, wine, beer, kvass. In our body, they also exist, along with another 20-30 types of different yeasts. At the same time, Saccharomyces cerevisiae are friendly to the human intestinal microflora - they have a depressing effect on pathogenic and opportunistic bacteria.
The difference between industrial Saccharomyces cerevisiae is that they are better suited for baking bread, so they are cultivated artificially. “The technology of bread is such that in semi-finished products bakery production(sourdough, dough, dough) develop and at the same time only selected yeasts — baking yeasts — normally loosen the bread, ”explains Tatyana Bykovchenko.
Modern bakeries operate on three types of baker's yeast: pressed, liquid yeast and sourdough. Often three types are used simultaneously.
Pressed (dry / dehydrated, instant / fast acting) yeast contains only Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cells. The main raw material for their cultivation is thick molasses rich in sugars (fodder molasses, a waste of sugar beet production). It is the main source of nutrition for yeast.
In addition to molasses, yeast needs phosphorus, potassium, nitrogen, magnesium and other trace elements. The unique ability of this product is to synthesize valuable organic matter- proteins, amino acids, enzymes, vitamins, carbohydrates - from inorganic. Therefore, for example, ammonium sulfate or technical aqueous ammonia (about 6% in a nutrient medium) is used as a source of nitrogen in yeast production. The source of boron, copper, zinc, molybdenum, iodine, cobalt, manganese for yeast is "microfertilizer for agriculture in the southern regions."
To acidify the molasses wort, to adjust the pH, sulfuric acid is indeed used (about 1% in the nutrient medium). Auxiliary materials in production are disinfectants (the same bleach, formalin and Progress liquid detergent), defoamers, water and air.
“At the end of cultivation, before pressing, the yeast is washed from the medium, so the final product, as the analysis shows, does not contain either basic, let alone auxiliary materials,” explains Tatyana Bykovchenko.
“Practically no industrial microbiological production, whether it is starters for dairy products or medicines (probiotics), is complete without the use of chemicals,” the expert adds. “In the production of, for example, dry bioconcentrates for the dairy industry, whey protein concentrates, sodium citrate, calcium carbonate, sodium hydroxide or sodium bicarbonate and others are used.”
Liquid yeast compared to pressed - an improved option close homemade sourdough. In addition to the yeast cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, they contain Delbruck's lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus delbrueckii). Bread made with such yeast is tastier and more aromatic, does not get stale so quickly, contains more essential amino acids, vitamins and lactic acid, which is useful for our microflora and immunity.
Our vs French

The funniest thing in the crazy story with killer yeast is that Russian bread today is mass-produced not at all on domestic, but on French baker's yeast. “They have better lifting power and organoleptic properties (taste, smell, etc.),” explains Marina Kostyuchenko, deputy director of the State Scientific Research Institute of the Baking Industry.
The French, although they consume bread much less than us, are leaders in the production of baker's yeast. “They have a well-established selection of strains, and they use the most highly active strains, in addition, they have developed ways to preserve yeast for a longer time without losing their activity,” says Tatyana Bykovchenko. “It should be noted that selection is not genetic engineering, but the search and selection of already existing strains.”
Strains are variations of the same species. A good example is the different races in humans, although we are all the same species from a biological point of view. For example, some strain ferments (assimilates) glucose well, but worse maltose, or vice versa. The search for more active strains of lactic acid bacteria and yeast, synthesizing biologically active substances, is carried out both here and abroad. This is a very complex painstaking work that requires great knowledge in both microbiology and technology.
French yeast sold in Russia is produced at our yeast factories. Most of them have been bought by French owners in the last ten years. “French producers use our technologies and their own developments, although our yeast production technologies are in many ways similar to foreign ones,” says Tatyana Bykovchenko.
Fast and dead

Shops and bakeries sell mainly bread made in an accelerated way, with little or no fermentation. The work of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and lactic acid bacteria is artificially accelerated with the help of more yeast, improvers and preservatives. This method is beneficial to the manufacturer, but not to the buyer. “Bread made using reduced technologies is not as tasty and fragrant, crumbles, becomes stale faster, and can also be microbiologically unsafe, that is, get sick with potato disease, mold faster,” adds Tatyana Bykovchenko. And most importantly, there is almost no useful substances, total fermentation.
Unfortunately, on the label, the manufacturer is not obliged to indicate by what technology the bread is made - accelerated or traditional. But there are several indirect signs by which you yourself can determine this.
Leaven
The inscriptions on the label "malt", " hop starter”, “fruit sourdough” means that the bread was prepared traditional way, on sourdough, and it is maximally saturated with useful substances.

Rye flour
Rye and rye- wheat bread unlike wheat, they cook only on sourdough, otherwise it won’t work - biochemical composition rye flour does not allow it. Check next time: if the label says rye flour or rye-wheat bread, then the ingredients will include the word "malt", "liquid yeast" or "sourdough". It is better if the label indicates peeled rye flour (not sifted and not wholemeal), it includes valuable substances from the grain shells.
For wheat bread, sourdoughs are also used, but much less often, mainly to improve taste and protect against mold and potato disease. It affects wheat bread, less often grain. “A potato stick is the only microorganism that can survive baking bread,” says Tatyana Bykovchenko. - On initial stage this disease can be detected only by cutting the bread. Diseased bread has a sticky crumb that stretches with threads, an unpleasant odor.
Improvers
Thinkstock/Fotobank.ru
Another landmark is the words "improver", "improvers" on the package. “In order to ensure the conformity of bread products produced according to accelerated ways, the requirements of GOSTs and SanPiNs, they use a 2-4 times increase in the amount of yeast, improvers that help preserve the taste, aroma, freshness, structure of the crumb of bread, including preservative additives from potato disease, mold, - lists Tatyana Bykovchenko. “In this case, the product label indicates that bakery improvers were used.”
But improvers can be kept silent, for example, in private bakeries where “natural handmade bread” is baked. In this case, carefully look at the loaf - if there are wide explosive cracks in the bread. “Such aggressive breaks cannot be achieved without improvers,” says Marina Kostyuchenko.
Finally, one more piece of advice. Premium wheat flour, sugar and butter, unlike yeast, really activate the fermentation process in the body and can lead to dysbacteriosis, diabetes and overweight. Bread with this composition should be completely removed from the diet.
“It is better to use rye, bran, whole grain bread,” says Alla Pogozheva, MD, professor at the Research Institute of Nutrition of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences. The whiter the bread, the less nutrients it contains. In the same time White bread(especially dried) is useful for hyperacidity gastric juice. In this case, rye, bran and whole grain bread is just not recommended.
If you are not satisfied with store-bought bread, you can always bake your own at home, experimenting with And . It is not necessary to go broke on a bread maker. what an amazing bread you get in the oven.
Bread without yeast is not as popular among consumers as baking with the use of the mentioned ingredient. This is due, first of all, to the fact that yeast products are very lush and tasty. However, experts say that such pastries contribute to the development of obesity and many internal diseases. Therefore, we recommend making bread without yeast. How exactly to bake such products, we will tell right now.
Bread without yeast: cooking recipes
Before you bake homebaked bread you need to purchase the following items:
- rye flour - about 1.2-1.3 kg;
- wheat flour- approximately 130 g;
- vegetable oil - about 3-4 large spoons;
- fresh honey - a large spoon;
- table salt - a pinch;
- low-fat kefir - about 700 ml.
Dough kneading
Bread on kefir without yeast is cooked for a rather long time, since in order to knead a suitable dough, it is necessary that it ferment. How exactly to make such a basis, we will tell right now.
To begin with, pour 100 ml of warm, not very fatty kefir into an enameled container. Pour about 100 g of rye flour there. After mixing all the components with a spoon, cover them with a napkin and set aside in a warm place for exactly a day.
A day later, to the resulting mass, we again lay out a similar amount fermented milk drink and rye flour. After that, mix the ingredients, cover with a towel and leave warm for 24 hours. The next day, we repeat the procedure.
After we get the sour milk mass, add 500 ml of warm kefir to it and pour in so much rye flour so that we get a dough of the consistency of fatty sour cream. Covering the dough again with a napkin, we leave it warm until the morning.
If you want to make bread without yeast every week, then 2/3 must be separated from the finished dough and placed in a container for kneading dough. As for the remaining base, we spread another 100 g of rye flour and the same amount of fermented milk drink to it. Having brought the mass to its previous consistency, cover it with a napkin and leave it warm. From this dough, you can again knead the dough for yeast-free bread. Thus, it will serve us as a kind of leaven.
After the described actions, add to the dough for kneading dough vegetable oil and fresh honey. Stir the ingredients with a spoon and add the rye flour.
As soon as the base becomes steep, we begin to knead it intensively with our hands. We do this until it stops sticking to the palms.
At the very end, add wheat flour to the dough and form a ball out of it. Place the product in a deep bowl, cover it with a napkin and leave it warm for 2-3 hours.
How to form correctly?
Bread at home without yeast is very easy to form. To do this, you can use any heat-resistant dishes. Lubricate it well with vegetable oil, and then lay out the dough that has come up. In this form, it is recommended to insist for about 40 minutes. In this case, you will get even more magnificent and delicious bread without yeast.
Heat treatment process
After the yeast-free dough is infused in a baking dish, the semi-finished product is immediately sent to a preheated oven. It is necessary to bake the product for 42-48 minutes at a temperature of 200 degrees.
After this time Rye bread should increase in volume, become lush, soft and ruddy.
If you want to make white yeast-free pastries, we recommend using the same recipe. However, instead of rye flour, only wheat flour should be used.
We bring to the table
As you can see, bread without yeast in the oven is baked quite quickly. After the product is ready, it is removed from the mold and cut into pieces. To present such a delicious and soft pastries to the table is recommended along with any dishes, as well as sausages, caviar, etc.
It should be noted that rye bread without the use of yeast is very beneficial for the body. It contains a large number of minerals and vitamins. However, it should be noted that such pastries are not recommended for those who have problems with the digestive tract. Excessive consumption of such bread can cause heartburn and stomach pain associated with increased acidity.
How to bake bread without yeast on custard dough?
To prepare such an unusual bread, we need the following ingredients:
- sifted wheat flour - about 1 cup;
- oatmeal flakes - 1 cup;
- any fresh honey - 2 large spoons;
- table salt - a pinch;
- baking powder - 1 large spoon;
- whole milk of high fat content - about 250 ml;
- vegetable oil - use at discretion.
Cooking process
This type of yeast-free bread is prepared much faster than what was presented above. Indeed, for kneading its base, you will not need several days to make a real rye dough.
So, for making delicious homemade bread cereals grind into a fine powder using a coffee grinder. Then sifted wheat flour and baking powder are added to it.
Mix all ingredients well and add salt. In this form, the bulk mass is left aside for a while.
To make custard dough for bread, whole milk is heated in a deep bowl, and then vegetable oil and fresh honey are added to it. Bringing the ingredients to a boil, they are poured into the previously prepared dry mixture and the dough is thoroughly kneaded.
After the warm base stops sticking to the hands, a ball is formed from it and left aside for 20-35 minutes.
As soon as the dough rises, proceed to it. heat treatment. The base is placed in a mold greased with vegetable oil, and immediately sent to the oven. At a temperature of 200 degrees, yeast-free bread is baked for 35-45 minutes.
Summing up
As you can see, yeast-free bread, the recipes of which we reviewed above, is quite easy to prepare. You can use this product both cold and still hot.
Tender on the inside and crispy on the outside, homemade bread made without the use of yeast is sure to please all your household members, and you will no longer have to buy such pastries in the store.
Unleavened bread known to mankind for many centuries. It appeared even when no one had heard of yeast. The recipe for such bread is considered classic, traditional. It is believed that such bread is useful. Now, in the wake of the intensification of movements for a healthy lifestyle, the fashion for eating unleavened bread has returned. But is it really that useful?
How is unleavened bread made?
Baking bread with yeast is quite simple: mix flour, water, salt and yeast, knead the dough, wait for it to rise and bake bread. The main work here is done by the tremors. Without them, the bread will look more like flat pita bread. The question arises: how does yeast-free bread become fluffy?
In fact, yeast fungi are found in both yeast and unleavened bread. The difference is that in the first case, the yeast is added directly to the dough, and in the second, they are part of the starter culture. Sourdough is a substrate containing yeast and lactic acid bacteria. Get the leaven naturally fermentation of dairy products or dough. In the baking business, sour fermented dough is added as a leaven. Yeast in sourdough is called natural or wild. Yeast obtained in food production - technological.
The mechanism of action of yeast in sourdough is similar to that of conventional culinary yeast. These fungi are able to break down carbohydrates, in particular glucose, into water and carbon dioxide. While in the dough, the yeast breaks down everything that comes in its way, and the gas released raises the dough, making it fluffy. Then, in the process cooking fungi die, but the dough remains lush. There is an opinion that technologically advanced yeast is resistant to temperature effects, therefore, it enters the body along with bread. There is no evidence for this theory.
What are the benefits of yeast-free bread?
If unleavened bread also contains yeast mushrooms Why then is it better than ordinary store-bought bread? The answer to this question lies in the secret of making yeast. Technological yeast get different ways. If you describe the process in general, then the yeast is grown on special nutrient media, then washed, treated with various substances and packaged.
The main harm to health is caused by those chemicals that are used in the process of making yeast. Natural sourdough fungi have more useful properties, because they grow on their own and are not exposed to these substances. They contain the maximum amount of vitamins and minerals. Technological yeast is inferior to them in many properties, including taste.
In addition, store-bought bread has many other harmful additives. For example, soy is sometimes added to it. The fact is that this ingredient absorbs moisture well and makes the bread much heavier, which allows you to save on ingredients during its production. In addition, soy makes bread white, even if the flour in it is not of the highest grade. In addition to soy, store-bought bread can contain various thickeners, flavor enhancers, and other chemical additives.
Store-bought unleavened bread can also have various chemical impurities. In order to get the maximum benefit from it, you need to start cooking yourself.
Benefit and harm
Why is yeast-free homemade bread so useful? Its benefits are as follows:
- Normalization of the gastrointestinal tract. Such bread irritates the walls of the digestive canal, contributing to the production of digestive enzymes and increased motility.
- Rapid satiety. Another factor related to digestion. Bread contains a large amount of carbohydrates, so it quickly satisfies hunger.
- The presence of vitamins of group B. These vitamins are produced by yeast and bacteria. In bread baked with sourdough, there are many times more of them than in yeast. Vitamins of this group are necessary for the functioning of all organs and systems. They are especially useful for nervous system, skin and hematopoietic system.
- Less calories. Yeast-free bread contains fewer calories per 100g of product than regular store-bought yeast baked goods. There are about 180 kcal in 100g of sourdough bread.
Yeast-free bread also has negative sides, however, they are similar to those of ordinary store-bought bread. It is worth remembering that bread does not have the best effect on the figure, therefore people with obesity and those who simply want to lose weight should avoid eating it. Bread made from white flour is also contraindicated in patients with diabetes. Another negative property of any bread is flatulence. Therefore, it should not be used by people with increased gas formation.
Thus, we can conclude that even yeast-free bread contains yeast. However, they are completely natural in origin, devoid of chemical impurities and have many useful substances. Sourdough bread is more difficult to prepare, but its special taste and undeniable benefits are worth it. In order to get the maximum amount of nutrients, it is recommended to bake bread at home.
Video: yeast-free bread recipe
Bread without the addition of yeast was not only the first food of man, but since ancient times has been a means for the prevention of many diseases. Unlike a product prepared using unicellular fungi, it does not harm the beneficial intestinal microflora, does not cause flatulence and is well absorbed.
In the modern world, yeast-free bread is also relevant, and its benefits and harms are still being discussed by adherents of a healthy lifestyle. Of course, only a properly baked culinary product has health value.
Composition and properties
Experts came to the conclusion that bread without the addition of yeast is perfectly absorbed by the body, thereby improving the digestion process. The dense crumb stimulates the intestines, thanks to which the product helps to keep the body in good shape and prevents excess weight gain.
The benefits of yeast-free bread are due to the content of the following components in its composition:
- B vitamins;
- niacin;
- cellulose;
- minerals - potassium, magnesium, phosphorus and others.
It is worth noting that such a product contains few carbohydrates and fats, compared to the usual type of bread, its calorie content is also reduced, it is only 177 calories per 100 g. The lower the grade of flour used, the tastier and healthier the bread will be for the figure.
Why is this product so unique? The fact is that yeast, once in the human body, begins to actively multiply and interfere with the development of healthy microflora, thereby causing problems with digestion and overweight. But yeast-free bread is absorbed much better and, thanks to fiber, activates intestinal motility.
A dense crumb of yeast-free bread, eaten with the main course, contributes to the rapid absorption of food, and also saturates the body with vitamins and minerals. People struggling with extra pounds often exclude this culinary product from their diet. You should not do this, since it is bread without the addition of unicellular fungi that speeds up the metabolism and, thanks to the abundance of B vitamins, prevents the development of depression.
In addition, unlike classic, yeast-free bread reduces the risk diabetes. For example, residents of the Caucasus rarely suffer from this disease, because their National cuisine rich in healthy pastries.
Indications for admission
Many people consider and completely refuse it, wanting to get rid of excess weight and cleanse the body of toxins. They are partly right, but yeast-free baking is different from other types. culinary products, and it can not be attributed to junk food. Bread baked without the addition of yeast, on the contrary, is recommended for people who are losing weight. It has the following benefits:
- energizes for the whole day;
- cleanses the body;
- saturates with useful substances.
A small piece of yeast-free bread will give a person a boost of energy for a long time, but complex carbohydrates in its composition eliminate the feeling of hunger and cravings for frequent snacks. abundance dietary fiber makes the intestines work hard, thereby eliminating dangerous toxins, excess weight goes away.
Useful substances with which bread is saturated support the processes of human life. It is recommended to eat no more than three pieces at one meal, and the recommended daily allowance- 150 g.
Also indications for the transition to yeast-free bread are such ailments as dysbacteriosis, flatulence, chronic constipation. This product does not affect the number of beneficial bacteria in the intestines and does not inhibit them, and also does not provoke the fermentation process, which is important for weakened people.
Systematic use healthy baking leads to the disappearance of abdominal pain, makes the stool regular and prevents the loss of beneficial intestinal microflora.
With pancreatitis
This disease suggests strict diet based on the recommendations of the attending physician. A sick person should not eat rich pastries, white crumb and products from shortcrust pastry, in particular, this rule applies to freshly baked products. However, during the period of remission, it is allowed to eat yeast-free bread in small quantities.
The daily portion should not exceed 100 g, and you can eat it several times a week. Of course, relaxation is not permissible at the acute stage of the disease - any bread is contraindicated during this period.
Advice! Stay away from yeast-free bread with nuts, sunflower seeds and other coarse particles, as they irritate the walls of the stomach.
Recipe
Choosing a quality product in a store is not always easy. It is much more profitable and healthier to cook delicious and healthy bread without the use of yeast culture at home, using conventional oven. The author of the site figured out how to get healthy pastries quickly and at no extra cost.
Prepare the following ingredients ahead of time:
- (1 glass);
- wheat flour (50 g);
- kefir (250 ml);
- sugar (1 tablespoon);
- salt (1 teaspoon);
- (15 g);
- baking soda (1 teaspoon).
Place the dry ingredients in a deep container and pour them with kefir gradually as the dough is compacted. Knead it gently, bringing it to the state homogeneous mass. Add some natural bran to the dough to make the finished product even more beneficial for the body.
Both silicone and metal molds are suitable for baking, the main thing is that they should be quite deep.
Cover the form with special baking paper and lay out the dough, carefully spreading it on the bottom of the container. Bake the bread in an oven preheated to 200°C for 25 minutes, at the end of the process it should form golden crust. finished product remove and wrap with a clean towel, in this form it will cool evenly.
You can store yeast-free bread at home for 10 days, the crumb will remain fragrant and tasty.
Contraindications
A poor-quality product can be harmful to health. It is known that bread from the store is often made on the basis of the so-called wild yeast - willow twigs or hop cones. For this reason, it is recommended to buy bakery product in a proven place or bake it yourself.
But even real yeast-free bread should not be eaten in large quantities, For healthy person the daily norm is from 100 to 250 g.
Refuse to use yeast-free bread should be in acute pancreatitis, and the product will harm people suffering from gastritis, stomach ulcers and inflammatory processes in the digestive organs.
“Yeast-free bread: benefits and harms” - articles with this heading have appeared quite often lately.
The fashion for unleavened bread today is becoming larger and larger.
Is this true, or perhaps we should turn to the experience of our ancestors who baked homemade bread without yeast?
Let's talk about benefits
First of all, such pastries are perfectly digested. The dense crumb makes the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract work harder. Thanks to this kind of training, the intestines become healthier. You can forget about disorders altogether - yeast-free bread will not harm the microflora.
But you will get an abundance of useful substances. These are phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, vitamins of several groups. Baking at high temperatures will not affect them in any way.
In addition, some of the substances will not feed the yeast, which happens in the manufacture of ordinary bread. Therefore, supporters of such a product, arguing about whether unleavened bread is healthy, always answer in the affirmative. 
Yeast-free bread will only benefit the body
In the case of familiar products, there is a risk of flatulence. Yeast forms in dough great amount cavities filled with carbon dioxide.
Accordingly, gas formation is also obtained in the intestines. Yeast-free dough, the harm and benefits of which are now being discussed quite actively, significantly reduces the risk of getting flatulence.
You won't get a lot of calories either. Of course, you will still get a certain amount of them, but not as much as when using the usual baking.
Compare for yourself:
- 100 g of a white wheat product - 240 kcal;
- 100 g of rye - 220 kcal;
- 100 g yeast-free - 177.71 kcal.
Nutritionists say that the benefits of rye yeast-free bread are undeniable. It is perfect for those people who are determined to lose those extra pounds, but are not ready to completely give up flour foods. In this case, the body will certainly receive its portion of energy for the day.
The other side of the coin - a few words about the shortcomings
Arguing about what brings unleavened bread to a greater extent - benefit or harm - for the sake of objectivity, one should not forget about the shortcomings of the product. The first thing that will surprise you is the unusual appearance. Nothing strange: the usual pastries are twice as large in volume. And it is quite natural that from a psychological point of view, you will want to please yourself and your loved ones with lush bread. 
Yeast-free bread is different from our usual yeast bread
We are used to softness, airiness. People with problem teeth are unlikely to appreciate the hard crumb. However, let the housewives who are thinking about how to make sourdough for bread without yeast do not be afraid - sometimes you can get a completely tender product at the end.
The next thing that will puzzle you is the taste and aroma of the recommended product. The taster will immediately pay attention to the sourness, which will seem unusual. It's all the fault of the bacteria that are formed due to the sourdough.
If you are not afraid of such nuances, and you are not thinking about how to bake bread without yeast on your own, still carefully consider the purchase.
Most often, producers use "wild" yeast - willow twigs or hop cones. There is no particular difference between such an ingredient and familiar yeast. This means that those suffering from flatulence will still have to face their problem.
It turns out that it is best to bake healthy bread without yeast with your own hands. However, be prepared for another trouble - you will have to spend time preparing the sourdough. It should also be taken into account that such a dough will rise much longer than with the standard version. On average, the sourdough takes about 5 days to create, and the cooking process will take 4-5 hours.
How to cook sourdough
It's time to move on to practical recommendations and figure out how to cook this very sourdough. On hand you will need to have 2 liters. tap filtered water, 300 g of rye flour, without fail, coarse grinding. The dishes are suitable enameled or glass, but in any case with a lid.
Add all these ingredients to the common dishes little by little, measuring out a certain amount of them every day. So, for the first day you will need 150 ml. water and 100 g flour. The remaining four days, measure 50 ml. water at the same time as 50 g of flour. At the end of the fifth day, you can already study recipes healthy bread without yeast.
See detailed recipe sourdough in video:
Perhaps you will be pleased with the fact that this starter will come in handy next time. It will be necessary only after the fifth day before kneading the dough to pour about 100 ml. this useful substance in some separate container.
Let's start baking
We offer you a recipe for yeast-free bread at home, which even novice housewives will be able to do. For him, in addition to sourdough, you will need 3 cups of millet flour, a glass of water, 3 tbsp. l. vegetable oil, 2 tbsp. l. sugar and 2 tsp. salt. For greater benefit, you can add, or bran.
Sift the flour first. Only after that you can add vegetable oil. Don't forget about sugar and salt. The resulting mass must be thoroughly mixed. Only after that you can add sourdough.
Kneading should continue until the dough stops sticking to your hands.
How much does it need to withstand in order to maximize the benefits of yeast-free sourdough bread? It all depends on the temperature of the kitchen. On average, it is enough to keep the wrapped bowl overnight.
The dough needs to be kneaded a little more, forming an appetizing shape out of it. When you put the workpiece in the baking dish, do not forget to leave a margin - the dough will still rise. And again, let it all brew. Now an hour or two will suffice. After this, the dough cannot be kneaded.
You will learn all the secrets of making yeast-free bread at home from the video:
Many housewives will probably be interested in the question of whether it is possible to bake bread without yeast in a slow cooker. It is quite possible, but it is desirable to bake the crust in the oven. We recommend warming it up to 220 degrees. If you prefer only the oven, then you need to leave the dough in it for a period of 40 to 60 minutes.
Of course, the blank should be pre-coated with vegetable oil.
Assessing the benefits and harms of bread without yeast, it is easy to see that the benefits outweigh at times. There is no particular harm from such baking, and it will definitely help get rid of some problems. Well, this is exactly the case when the hype around the product is fully justified.
