Default Yeastless Breads

I did a Google on

yeastless bread with self-rising flour

and found this:

http://www.yummly.com/recipe/Guinnes...position=10/36

some of the other recipes here

http://www.yummly.com/recipes/self-r...flour-no-yeast

look interesting.

Anyone trod down this path before? I suppose that what one is making is
essentially a big biscuit and not really bread. Curious to hear any
words of wisdom from those of you more experienced than me at this - I'm
considering making up my two-ingredient biscuit batter, perhaps adding a
bit of butter and sugar, and putting it into a loaf pan to see what the
results are.

This recipe

http://bachutha.com/how-to-make-plai...without-yeast/

which is a pain for my American, volumetric-measurement-brain way of
looking at things, looks like my biscuit recipe but with a bit more
salt, and water and butter instead of milk.

I use Self Rising flour for only one thing: "beer" bread. The rest of
the yeastless breads I make would be called quick bread. I suppose
you could substitute SR for the flour, baking powder and salt in any
quick bread recipe, but I've never felt a need to do it that way.

Default Yeastless Breads

My son was saying "I want damper!", so I went and did that kind of stuff.

450g plain flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda/sodium bicarbonate
1 cup water with 1 tbsp vinegar

Mix, knead, bake at 200C for 30 minutes, on a floured tray.

I would have used self-raising flour, except I didn't have enough. I would have used baking powder instead of soda+acid, but there was none. Bah! Soda is the Traditional Way, anyway.

Buttermilk is standard, rather than acidulated water. Just has to be an acidic liquid, to react with the soda. Beer should work well, since it's acidic. The original version of the Guinness bread way well have just used beer/ale for acidity, with soda. Carbonated beer and self-rising flour are just modern frills, but they probably help make it a bit fluffier.

Well trying to make bread without yeast is lazy enough...why would anybody be So Lazy to want to skip adding their own baking soda to flour? That is way above the pay grade of some..to discuss stuff like this with obviously mentally challenged and flat lazy bums. Kindly correct our thinking here. It could cause seasoned citizens to need another heart pill and stuff like that.

Well hmmm..seems like I knew that about the yeast. I keep telling yall the Frugal Prevert has a great recipe for Irish Soda bread..but do anybody ever listen to me? No.lol. Even he was energetic enough to add his own baking soda.
