yeast and flour.
If you're still having issues with getting your
yeast breads to rise, try «proofing» your
yeast first.
I'm sure you know exactly what I mean
if you've ever made any type of home made
yeasted bread before.

yeast breads sink, you'll want to let them rise longer next time.

yeast, and this
bread was SO delicious.

I'm not sure what else was in the recipe you used, but you're right to think
if there were no sugars at all, there was little for the
yeast to «eat» and therefore to grow and cause the air we all like to have in our
breads.
If your
bread has large air pockets, it might not be rising long enough or may be that you're using a touch too much
yeast.
Hi Tischa, this article does specifically pertain to
yeast breads, but even
if baking with chemical leaveners (baking soda, baking powder...) you should still get a rise, but the process is different.
I also like using carbonated liquids in my
yeast bread recipes where you want a higher rise: gluten - free beer, seltzer water or even gingerale work nicely, but know that
if the liquid has a taste, it will impart it in the recipe (which is why many people like seltzer water).
I realize it's kind of a pain to have cups of starter you either need to bake with or throw away, but it's all about keeping the natural
yeast in your starter well - fed and maintaining a proper pH.

bread.Let me know how your
bread turns out; I'd love to hear!

Even
if you start with a good gluten free
bread recipe, a simple substitution of baking powder for
yeast, does not work well.
If I, a
yeast bread novice, can turn out something as stupendous as this, I can only dream of what mouthwatering
breads I'll bake in the future.
If you want to check the settings for quick cycle, you will want to make sure there is a rise cycle because sometimes that setting is for quick
breads (not
yeast breads) and there is no rise time.

yeast - averse at all, but have always been terrified of attempting English muffins —

yeast free

if you're avoiding wheat or gluten for any reason they're great to order from.

bread flour or pastry flour) 5 1/2 cups unbleached all - purpose flour whole wheat flour and / or corn meal for pizza peel or back side of a cookie sheet

yeast (I am allergic) and tired of store bought

But letting it ferment too long (as would happen

bread to get very little rise because all the food for the
yeast has been consumed and the gluten strands (that hold the
bread together and trap the gasses within) break down.
Let me know
if you notice any difference in your
bread with the different
yeast!
I do, and I have to admit, use a little bit of sugar in lots of
bread recipes but I mix it once the
yeast has been dissolved, even
if it is a savory
bread.
In small amount, fat helps the elasticity of the
bread, but
if added in larger amounts, just like sugar, it will slow down the action of the
yeast, increasing the rising time.
