I had a fantastic idea the other day when I was trying to find yeast for baking some bread.
At my local three stores I did not find many things since supplies running low at this time during this COVID-19 Pandemic.
Good news is that I have found a wonderful bread recipes which is easy to make and taste good. The ingredients flour, plain milk, baking powder and salt are all everyday basics found in your fridge and cabinet, which means you can easily make a fresh loaf whenever you need a loaf.
Emergency No Yeast Bread Servings: 10 slices
Prep Time 5 mins Cook Time 35 mins Total Time 40 mins
Ingredients
4 cups plain flour - regular cake or all purpose flour not bread or wholewheat / wholegrain
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 1/3 cups milk - or water with a spoon of oil or melted butter
Instructions
Heat the oven to 375°F. Place a baking stone or heavy baking sheet in the oven to heat.
Mix the dry ingredients. Stir in the milk, and bring the dough together by stirring the ingredients until the milk is mixed with with flour and forms a dough. It's easiest to do this with your hands rather than a wooden spoon.
Turn the dough out onto your work surface and knead briefly until the dough has a uniform consistency.
Shape the dough into a round disc about an inch to an inch and a half thick and deeply score the top with an X.
This is important! Don't make a round ball of dough as it won't cook in the middle.
Bake on the hot stone or baking sheet at for about 35 minutes until pale brown and sounding hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Notes
Important! I cannot stress enough that the dough needs to be a flat pancake - not more than 1.5" deep when it goes into the oven, or it will not cook properly in the middle.
If you don't have milk you can make some up with powdered milk, mix up yogurt and water, or use water with a spoon of oil or melted butter or spread.
Off now to bake some bread...
