If you have recently decided to give up eating yeast, or you are thinking about giving it up, you are probably wondering about the bread options available. Most bread contains yeast, so it’s good to know what your yeast-free bread options are, so that you know where to buy it or how to make it yourself.
The majority of people with an allergy or intolerance to yeast have a specific problem with manufactured yeast, but can tolerate natural yeast. In this instance, such a person can eat sourdough bread. However, the trick is to use a proper sourdough starter which doesn’t have any added yeast.
What’s a “Starter”?
A starter is also known as a “levain”, and is basically an ancestral form of pre-ferment which you use to make the sourdough bread. Sourdough is the method of trapping natural yeast. Once you have your starter, you can actually make most types of bread. The only difference is there will be a different taste to the bread. This is due to the lactic acid which is produced by the lactobacilli, which gives it its sour flavour, which is where the name comes from.
However, if the flavour of sourdough bread is not your thing, then why not try Soda Bread instead. Take a look at this Soda Bread recipe
