How Do You Make Bread Rise Without Yeast?
Since most beers contain yeast strains from the fermentation process, you can use beer in place of yeast for this 3-ingredient bread recipe. The beer ingredient makes this bread dense, soft, and rich in taste.
It’s important to note that beer cannot replace yeast for all recipes. Other times baking soda is the better replacement choice, but be sure to do your research in advance before substituting any ingredient.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- One 12-ounce can or bottle of beer. And yes, you can use ANY beer you want, but know that the beer’s flavor will come through in the bread’s taste, so pick something you like.
- Self-Rising Flour, 3 cups. It would be best if you had self-rising flour for this recipe because it contains salt and baking soda, which helps the bread rise perfectly since we omitted yeast. However, I will admit I’ve used all-purpose flour for this recipe, and it was still delicious. Just know that self-rising flour will make the bread taste softer and tender.
- Sugar, 1/4 cup.
What Is Self-Rising Flour?
This flour contains baking powder and salt, ensuring baked goods rise perfectly. This 3-in-1 ingredient gives the quick bread a tender crumb with a light texture because it has a lower protein content than all-purpose flour.
Equipment Needed For This Simple Quick Bread Recipe:
- Nonstick Cooking Spray Or Butter – grease the loaf pan before adding the bread batter.
- Oven
- Spatula Spoonula or Spoon
What Is Bread Without Yeast Called?
Bread made without rising agents like yeast is known as unleavened bread. Most flatbreads, such as tortillas and roti, are popular unleavened bread types. Pizza and pita bread are also flatbreads. However, they are known to contain yeast.
How To Make 3-Ingredient Bread (No Yeast), Step-By-Step
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Step 2: Combine the sugar and flour in a bowl and mix.
Tip: When measuring the flour, spoon it into the measuring cup and then level it off with a knife. This is crucial because you don’t want to pack the flour down and get more than you need, which happens when you scoop the measuring cup into the flour.
Step 3: Add a 12-ounce can or bottle of beer (room temperature) to the dry ingredients and mix. The bread dough will be sticky.
Step 4: Grease a 9 x 5 loaf pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray and add the dough to the pan.
Step 5: Bake the bread for one hour at 375 degrees F.
Step 6: Remove the baked loaf from the pan and allow it to cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes before slicing the bread.
Recipe Variations For Easy No Yeast Bread:
- Cheese And/Or Jalapenos – Add one cup of grated cheese (any kind) to the bread dough and mix. If you like spice, add a tablespoon or two of chopped jalapenos.
- Bacon – Add 1/2 cup of chopped (already cooked) bacon to the dough and mix.
- Herbs – Rosemary, Basil, and Thyme are delicious herbs you can add (about two tablespoons) to the dough before baking.
- For Softer Bread – Add 1/2 cup of melted butter to the bread dough and mix.

#1- I don’t have a website, so I hope that doesn’t matter.
#2- Do I need to deseed the jalapenos? I like spicy foods, but I know that if I chopped them up, they would add extra liquid to the recipe. I would prefer to use fresh jalapeno peppers with their seeds and liquid.
Hi Virginia, you can use the jalapeno seeds. Just know it will be spicier with the seeds. I would avoid using too much excess liquid, but a little shouldn’t hurt. Let me know how it goes!
