Some are of the opinion that baking without the use of yeast is more beneficial, since yeast contains fungi that tend to accumulate in the human body, eliminating beneficial intestinal microflora, thereby reducing immunity.
Regularly consumed fermented foods cause constipation and flatulence, promote the development of cell mutations, and trigger the formation of tumors. That is why it is recommended to bake in a bread machine, for which a special sourdough prepared independently is used.
Baking bread without using yeast today is very popular among housewives for many reasons, for example, allergies, aversion to the specific taste and smell of yeast, etc.
Since it is known that yeast-free bread (it is much more convenient to bake it in a bread machine) is prepared on the basis of sourdough, you need to know what kind it is and how to make it correctly. So, it comes from potatoes, kefir or yogurt. Let's consider this issue in more detail.
Kefir sourdough bread
Ingredients
Sourdough (three hundred and fifty grams): kefir, flour. Dough: four hundred grams of flour, two hundred grams of water, ten grams of salt, sugar to taste, vegetable oil.
Kefir must be left in a warm room for some time to sour, then add flour to the consistency of sour cream and leave for a day. After time, add a little flour again, the consistency should be somewhat thicker, and set aside again for one day. Now the starter is ready.
All other ingredients are added to the starter and the dough is kneaded. Baked in a bread machine.
Bread with mineral water
Ingredients: four tablespoons of bran, two glasses mineral water, four tablespoons of vegetable oil, one and a half glasses, one and a half glasses of wheat flour, half a spoon of caraway seeds.
Mineral water is mixed with oil, bran, caraway seeds and flour ( coarse grind) and add wheat flour, knead the dough, form bread from it, place it on a baking sheet, previously moistened with water, and bake for fifteen minutes, after which the heat is reduced and bake for another twenty minutes. The finished product is wrapped in a towel and left for one hour.
Yeast-free bread(baked in a bread machine) based on hops
Ingredients
Sourdough: one glass, two glasses of water, half a glass of flour, one tablespoon of sugar or honey. Dough: two hundred grams of milk, two spoons of sugar, ten spoons of sourdough, flour, salt.
The hops are poured with water and boiled for one hour, then left for eight hours. After this, filter, add flour and sugar, mix, cover with gauze and leave for one day in a warm place.
Prepare the dough. To do this, add sugar, sourdough and enough flour to the milk to make batter. Mix everything and leave for two hours, after which salt and flour are added and kneaded if using a bread machine. Homemade yeast-free bread is much tastier and more aromatic than store-bought bread. Next, you just need to turn on the “baking” mode. If an oven is used, the product is baked at high temperature for forty-five minutes.
Thus, yeast-free bread, the benefits of which are obvious, is in great demand among consumers today.
When setting the table, the hostess first slices the bread. Without this important bakery product the meal does not begin, be it lunch, breakfast or dinner.
Today, few people think about when bread first appeared on our table, but meanwhile, there is a long historical background on this matter.
Yeast-free bread can be baked in a bread machine without any problems. Your responsibilities include only laying the necessary ingredients. “If you've done the job, walk boldly” - in this case, the saying is more relevant than ever.
Having poured flour, salt, yeast, and other products into the mold, you can do other things.
All processes: from kneading dough to baking bread, will be done for you by the kitchen “assistant”; you just need to set the correct mode on the control panel.
The history of bread
Our distant ancestors began to eat bread about 15 thousand years ago. It's been a long time, really! Naturally, it was very different from the one we eat now.
In prehistoric times, people knew nothing about yeast, they simply ground cereal seeds between stones (later millstones), the resulting loose mass was mixed with water and eaten.
Somewhat later it became known that this mixture tastes better when hot. Scientists have suggested that baking was facilitated by the carelessness of one of the ancient women.
Not looking at the porridge that was cooking on the fire, she discovered that it had spilled and baked.
What a surprise it was that the golden brown cakes turned out to be very tasty. Probably since then people began to bake bread, although still without yeast.
Yeast bread appeared among the ancient Egyptians, and this was not without accident. One of the slaves’ dough “played” in the heat, and at his own peril and risk he decided not to throw away expensive products, but to make flatbreads.
As a result of this experiment, airy and soft flour products. This is how bread baking began in Egypt.
Is bread made with yeast dangerous?
Controversy over whether it is dangerous to human health yeast baking, do not subside. According to some reports, eating yeast bread means harming yourself and provoking the occurrence of many diseases.
According to other researchers, such a product does not pose a serious danger. Who to believe?
One way or another, yeast-free bread is more healthy, because to make it airier, they add sourdough prepared at home. Sourdough contains microorganisms that help the dough rise.
They do not affect human immunity, do not cause bloating and do not interfere with bowel movements.
Followers healthy eating refuse to use yeast in favor of sourdough, because they are confident that yeast is fully endowed with all of the listed disadvantages.
Sourdough is made from hops (malt) and flour. If you are interested in sourdough recipes, you can find them on my website. Yeast-free bread is digested much faster, does not inhibit the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, and does not cause fermentation in the intestines.
All microorganisms of natural origin cannot withstand high temperatures and quickly die, having completed their main work. So, flatulence is excluded.
Let's look at some recipes without yeast bread in a bread machine, which are available for cooking at home. Let's start by looking at the first recipe.

Yeast-free recipe rye bread in a Panasonic bread machine: the first experimental bread without yeast
I baked yeast-free bread in a bread machine using the one I had prepared for five days. I used it for baking, my faithful assistant. I read a lot on the forums about how to make bread without yeast at home - everyone writes differently everywhere, surprisingly. I was interested in the question of how much leaven to put in yeast-free bread. That is, if I don’t put in yeast, then there should be enough so that she can raise the dough. In general, I did this - it took me two tablespoons for bread in a bread machine without yeast rye sourdough. I took it by eye, trusting my own instincts more than recipes on websites.
Recipe for yeast-free rye bread in a Panasonic bread machine:
Ingredients for bread without yeast:
- actually live sourdough(rye) - 2 tablespoons
- Wheat flour - 225 grams, peeled rye flour - 200 grams
- Wheat bran - 3 tablespoons
- Granulated sugar - one and a half tablespoons
- Salt - one and a half teaspoons
- Powdered milk - 2 tablespoons
- Water – 330 ml
The process of making yeast-free bread using a bread machine:
We take the starter from the refrigerator, let it get used to the warmth, refresh it with a portion of flour and water and wait for it to rise in the jar.
Once the process has started, you can begin the first stage of making bread without yeast: kneading dough
Place the starter in the bottom of the bread pan, then the flour, the rest of the ingredients and finally pour in the water.
Then stage 2 of preparing yeast-free bread in a Panasonic bread machine: climb
This is an independent process, it depends on many factors, I left the dough in the bread pan directly in the bread maker and went to work. After 10 hours, this is how it rose - by about half the volume. 
Third stage: baking unleavened bread in a bread machine
I set the bread baking mode and after 45 minutes my first bread without yeast was ready. This is how the first sourdough bread without yeast turned out:
The cross section shows that the bread was well baked, it turned out toasted and crispy
The taste of the bread is unusual, slightly sour, and the bread itself is quite dense in texture. Very tasty! The loaf came out quite small, but it lasted us a long time.
They say that a bread machine is good, but you can’t eat a lot of fresh yeast bread. I don’t know to what extent these words correspond to the truth, and what doctors think about this, but I have no desire to risk myself and the health of my beloved loved ones once again.
To diversify my bread diet, I decided to try making a yeast-free “brick”, to which I added sesame seeds to improve the taste.
The baked goods from this portion were very small, but very tasty. Now I’m not afraid of an extra piece of bread or a spoiled figure, because, as the owners of bread machines have already advised me, I’ve already started pumping my abs and, I hope, my figure will remain in the same volumes.
Search good recipe I started with the instructions for yeast-free bread, but there was none there. Then I looked through the book, which contains recipes from different peoples.
Believe it or not, it turned out that in this book there is an entire chapter dedicated to baking bread in a bread machine. I skipped this chapter before, because I wasn’t going to buy a bread machine. Now I read the recipes from first to last with pleasure and great curiosity.
In the book I found this wonderful recipe that my family loved and I hope you will too.
To prepare yeast-free bread in a bread machine, you need the following products:
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
0.5 tsp Sahara
1 tbsp. sesame
Therefore, the baking soda dough needs to be baked at an accelerated setting. My bread machine has 3 speed baking modes: "Quick Bake", "Ultra Quick Bake 1 for 750g bread" and "Ultra Quick Bake 2 for 900g bread".
For this type of bread I used the "Ultra-Fast Bake 750". With its help, bread is baked in 58 minutes, of which only 10 minutes are spent kneading the dough.
To prepare the dough, pour kefir into the mold. 
Add baking soda
salt
and sugar.
Pour flour into a bucket.
Add sesame seeds if desired.
We send the form to the bread machine, set the program for ultra-fast baking of bread weighing 750g. After kneading the dough, sprinkle it with flour to create a tasty crust on top.
Check the readiness of the bread with a wooden skewer. My bread was not completely baked, so I baked it for another 15 minutes in the “Baking” program (depending on the kefir liquid and flour).
Cool the finished bread and treat it to your family. Bon appetit!

Just a few years ago, in order to treat yourself to freshly baked homemade bread, you had to spend at least 2-3 hours in the kitchen. Today, using modern kitchen devices, everything can be done much easier and faster. I propose to call on one of these devices for help and bake delicious homemade yeast-free bread in a bread machine. I recently discovered a simple recipe using kefir and soda instead of yeast. Having tried different combinations of products, I found the ideal option in terms of composition and taste. Making this bread is a pleasure! No fussing with dough or waiting for the dough to rise. You don’t even have to knead the dough, because the miracle machine will do all the “dirty” and labor-intensive work for you! All you need to do is pour the required amount of ingredients into the cup in a given sequence, press a couple of buttons and wait for fresh and fragrant bread! I assure you that there is not the slightest reason to fear that due to the absence of yeast in the dough, the bread will turn out dense and more like a warm “brick”. Quite the opposite - this yeast-free bread made with kefir will pleasantly surprise you with its crispy crust and delicate, airy crumb.
Ingredients:
- kefir – 320 ml,
- soda – 0.5 tsp,
- sugar – 2 tsp,
- salt – 0.5 tsp,
- olive oil (or any vegetable oil) – 2 tsp.
- "Italian herbs" ( ready mix spices and seasonings) - a pinch to taste,
- wheat flour - 400 g (plus another handful or two if necessary).
How to make yeast-free bread in a bread machine:
Take a bread maker container and insert a stirrer. Next we measure necessary ingredients and put them in this order. First kefir.
Then soda.
Sugar, salt.
Italian herbs, olive oil.
And only then the flour.
Keep in mind that the consistency of the dough directly depends on the fat content and thickness of the kefir (mine was thick), so during the kneading process, monitor the operation of the bread maker and, if necessary, add more flour. Be sure to sift the flour before placing it in the container. It's that simple.
Now we put the container in the bread maker and set the appropriate baking program (depending on your bread maker model). The program can be anything like for yeast bread, or you can experiment with the task on quick baking. We indicate the weight of the future loaf and the degree of browning of the crust. I prefer the bread crust light or medium, weight – 750 g.
When the process of kneading the dough comes to an end and baking of bread begins (this will be clearly visible on the display of your oven, usually 50 minutes before the end of the program), carefully make small cuts on the top of the loaf. These cuts are not a necessary procedure at all, they are made only to make the loaf more appetizing appearance. Therefore, if you don’t have much time to look after your bread maker, don’t do it, bread won’t become any less tasty without them. ;)
As soon as the bread machine beeps, the bread is ready! Let it cool a little in the container, then remove it.
You can serve the bread immediately, or you can cut it into slices and freeze it for future use. It’s very convenient to then take out a piece and heat it in a toaster or microwave.
