Can you use yeast as baking powder?!


Question: Can you use yeast as baking powder!?
Answers:
No, yeast is a live organism, which eats sugars and lets out gas, which causes the thing in which you added it to to rise!.

Baking powder is a combination of sodium bicarbonate and something else I can't remember at the moment, and it is not living!. It reacts differently, and creates a different type of rise all together!.

Sorry, but yeast just won't work instead of baking powder!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No!. Yeast is an organism that needs time to eat sugar to make the food rise!. Trying to use it in quickbreads that need to be mixed as little as posibble and cooked quickly after mixing would be bad!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No!. Though both are used to leaven breads, they work very differently!. You can't substitute one for another in recipes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No, they are two completely different things!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
