Yeast Free Living - What Are the Bread Options?
Starting on a yeast free diet isn't easy. Yeast is in a lot of common foods, and avoiding yeast can sometimes be difficult. The main problem is with bread, as normal bread contains yeast to make it rise. However, there are a lot of yeast free breads available in health food shops. You can also make your own yeast free bread.

With a good starter, it's actually possible to make most types of bread. However, there will be a slight sour taste to the bread. This comes from the lactic acid which is produced by the lactobacilli. It is this result sour flavour which give this type of bread it's name "sourdough".
