Wheat Free Flour Alternatives for the Yeast Intolerant

Do you know where regular flours come from? – Flours like all purpose flour, cake flour, etc. come from cereal grains, specifically from barley and rye. Barley and rye though have wheat in them; so if you’re allergic to wheat or avoiding high-carbohydrate wheat because you’re intolerant to yeast, then these common flours are not for you. Good to know though that there are many wheat free flour alternatives you can turn to.

Among the popular wheat-less flours are the following: rice flour, quinoa flour, corn flour, corn meal, flax seed meal, chia seed flour, oat flour, and buckwheat, millet, and potato flour. There are also tapioca flours and bean flours as well as pea flours you can buy from the market.

If you love eating baked goodies or just need to use flour in your cooking, then there’s no need to risk your health using wheat-based flours if you’re particularly intolerant to yeast, or wheat.

Delicious Yeast Free Breads

People who have yeast intolerance should follow all means to stay away from foods with yeast or foods that promote yeast. Changes in one’s diet are necessary like substituting wheat free yeast free breads to regular white breads. But while this is mostly okay with some people, some people still find it bland to their taste. Yet you can still make eating breads without yeast or wheat more fun than usual.

Although whole-wheat yeast-less breads don’t have the softness of texture you’re after, you can compensate this by making its taste more interesting. Note: you’re yeast free wheat free bread doesn’t mean it would lack sweetness in it. It can still be made with, not sugar but natural sweeteners (like Stevia).

Gluten-Free Yeast-Free Pizza Crust

Pizza is one of the best comfort foods for anyone who loves to eat. But what if suddenly you find out that you’re gluten and yeast intolerant? You must be wondering how it’s like to eat a gluten-free yeast-free pizza crust. Don’t worry because it isn’t such a nightmare. Your pizza would still taste good despite some changes in the texture or feel of its crust.

If you’re making a gluten and yeast free pizza, this means having a pizza dough that lacks a little bit in its elasticity and softness upon baking. Expect also that your pizza will go stale a little sooner than normal. These are the major implications of using whole-wheat (wheat free, gluten free, and yeast free) flours for your pizza crust. Still, you can compensate the loss in its ideal texture by giving your pizza a fresher taste instead, like for instance adding Italian herbs to its dough.
