Yeast And Baking Powder

[Kenster61]

Dear Friends with Celiacs,

I am making bread and the only flour I could find in the house was All Purpose Baking Flour from Arrowhead Mills which has baking powder in it. I'm making it in a machine so will the two together cause it to rise too much. Should I leave out the yeast?

I don't use a bread machine, so I'm not the best person to answer this, but nobody else has replied, so I'll give it my best shot. I'm not sure how the machines work, but I have made bread from recipes that used both yeast & soda, so I think if you can adjust the rising time (make it shorter) you can probably use it.

Not sure if that helps, but good luck!

Ken,

I just converted a recipe for some biscuits and one of the problems was the baking powder wasnt working with the yeast, after much reading found that cream of tartar with yeast is much better, it was suggested because the cream of tartar does not interfer woth the yeasts action.

Until I made this change my biscuits were not rising right and getting hard , now with that and addition of sour cream I have a light yeasty tasty biscuit.

you may want to rethink the baking powder mix and go for something without it / gl
