-Does anyone have a normal bread recipe which uses self raising flour?

';Normal'; bread would be a regular yeast-risen loaf so the answer would be no. Self raising flour contains bicarbonate of soda which is the rising agent, normal bread is made with yeast and proofed before baking. They are two totally different things.

They use beer as a replacement for yeast. Bread has yeast in it. Unless your making unleavened bread which is a Kosher Bread. Its kinda tough but good.





Biscuits are an example of leavened bread without yeast.


6 cups of self rising


2 cups of lard or shortening


1 cup of milk





Cut in or mix the fats with the flour then add the milk if after mixing you find you need more liquid add it one tablespoon at a time, roll it out thick cut into biscuits, bake at 400 for 10minutes.





There is salt rising bread that does not use packaged yeast but rather a ';Starter'; that you make yourself, it complicates the recipe %26amp; is not a ';Quick Bread';.





Google simple Quick Breads for more recipes. Breads that use salt, sugar %26amp; eggs generally fall under muffins or cakes.-Does anyone have a normal bread recipe which uses self raising flour?
If the normal ingredient calls for normal flour, then use normal flour. But if you want to go self raising and end up with a mess that's your concern.





Bread, pizza dough and things down this line, need proof time for the yeast to work, certain ingredients used for the manufacture of self raising flour does not react too well with yeast.
This sounded good to me!





3 cups self rising flour


1/2 cup sugar


1 12 oz bottle of beer


Stir these ingredients together....you can also add some shredded sharp cheese and herbs, such as chopped chives to this. Dump into a lightly greased loaf pan - larger size. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Pour melted butter over top and bake for 10 more minutes. Cool.....remove from pan....can be served somewhat warm.
