I thnk at least some SR flour contains yeast. My daughter is yeast intolerant but we can use plain flour and add the appropriate amount of bicarc/and or baking powder. Sorry, can`t give amounts as I just throw in what looks right. I usually throw in a few herbs too when mixing, it does make lovely dumplings though (I use Pure for the fat content)

SR flour doesn't contain yeast...

The raising agents are usually calcium phosphate and sodium bacarbonate.

Well apologies if I have misled anyone, but whatever it contains to make it rise, it isn`t good for at least some yeast intolerant people. My daughter is yeast intolerant and has been given a long list of foods to avoid. One of these is SR Flour.

That's really interesting - didn't know that about SR. I've heard all flour can have a tiny bit of yeast in naturally though - would it be worth checking out some of the specialist flours - Dove for example? My other thought is you can add baking powder to plain flour - but as it is, I think, baking powder that's added to make SR flour you might have the same problem. Presumably your list will help on this one. Good luck

Oooh, just had a thought - how about gnocchi type dumplings - they're mashed potato, egg and plain flour (I think - never actually made them personally) might be worth a google

That's interesting ubamother, thanks. I am always on the lookout for bread recipes that she can eat.

The list is very long and includes so many things she loves like cheese, dried apricots or dried fruit of any kind, tea except that redbush kind, no skin on fruit etc etc.

I will try the gnocchi idea, cheers :beer:

You are welcome, do you think you are yeast intolerant? You could do with getting checked out, but you may have to go privately like my daughter did. She was told by the specialist she saw that although yeast intolerance was probably the cause of her problems, the NHS don`t fund testing.

Basically though she has to avoid anything that fungus type spores are likely to be on, which is why all the things mentioned are bad for her. No mushrooms (just about the only thing she doesn`t miss) but no bananas either. We freeze fresh herbs rather than use dried, and everything she does eat has to be as fresh as possible with no peel or skin.

She has to keep to this regime for six weeks at a time, with a short break in between. It may be diferent for you of course, but maybe this will help in the meantime.
