In a bread recipe, can you substiute self rising flour for the regular flour? rid of the salt?

Can you use self rising flour instead of regular flour in a bread recipe? I had a old recipe that did that and then omitted the salt, is this OK?In a bread recipe, can you substiute self rising flour for the regular flour? rid of the salt?
if it is yeast bread it will be expecting bakers or hard flour. I have never seen one that uses both self raising (usually a soft flour) as well as yeast.


some breads do use self raising flour and are more like a scone. - salt is needed for yeast - self raising flour doesnt need it.In a bread recipe, can you substiute self rising flour for the regular flour? rid of the salt?
yes you can subsitute self raising flour for regular flour only if you add about 4 teaspoons of baking soda for every 2 cups (300g) of plain flour the self raising flour has added baking soda to help the bread raise. Adding baking soda will turn the plain flour into self raising flour. i prefer the brand white wings
No, no, salt has nothing to do with it. Keep the salt.


It's self-raising because it has baking powder already added to it. Make sure you add a little extra to regular flour.
Self raising flour has baking soda or powder already mixed in. Most bread use yeast as the medium for raising so it's a little redundant. I suppose it won't hurt it but there is no point to it either. The salt probably won't affect the raising either.
