Measure the flour the same. Just omit the baking soda and baking powder.

If a recipe calls for baking soda, it usually has an acid along with it, such as buttermilk or vinegar or cream of tartar or sour cream. If you totally omit the baking soda, and have an acid, you will not get the desired result in your recipe.

I believe that self rising flour contains baking powder only. It should substitute nicely for the same volume of regular flour and baking powder.

Self rising already has the baking powder and salt in it, so just leave those out when using this flour.

It is fine to use that. The only difference in self rising flour and all purpose is that self rising flour has salt and baking power added to it. It is about 1/2 tsp each for every cup in the bag. Hope that helps.

Do you still need yeast to make bread with self rising flour?

For regular bread, yes, you will still need yeast. Self-rising flour has baking soda and baking powder in it, not yeast. It will rise by itself for biscuits or quick-breads, where you would normally use baking soda and baking powder.

But for a good, quick bread, mix 3 cups of the self-rising flour, 2 to 4 tablespoons of sugar and a bottle of beer or other carbonated beverage. Pour in a greased (or sprayed) loaf pan, pour a little melted butter over it, and bake at 350 for around an hour. MMMMMMMMMMM.

Yes certainly. You also need Strong Plain Flour which is specially for breadmaking. It contains a lot more gluten.

Yes you can, Patsy. For every 2 cups of flour, add 1 Tablespoon of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of salt....sift it all together :)
