      Hi,

      Can I use baking powder in yeast breads? I swear I had a cookbook with a recipe for whole wheat bread that included some baking powder but the cook book appears to be gone. Probably the victim of a spring cleaning fit of pique.

      Would it give me any extra oven spring? Would it make the bread a little lighter? Any guess as to how much I would use?

      Thanks

        I recall that some of KAF's yeast recipes (the Hot Cross Buns) require some baking powder. It was also called for in that dismal sweet potato biscuit recipe that I baked--and which Bake from Scratch insists works, although they said that they would check it.

          I don't have a bread recipe that uses both yeast and baking powder. The Angel Biscuit recipe I have uses both. You may want to call the consumer line of your baking powder and ask them the proportions. And/or, contact Fleischman's. I've always fouind them helpful.

            I guess I'll do some research, experiment and let you all know the results.

            Thanks
