I'm allergic to yeast and lactose-intolerant AND I hate to cook - so sandwiches are a big part of my daily diet. Does anyone have a recipe for bread that can be made into sandwiches? (How like "regular" bread is salt-rising bread? And how hard is it to make?)

Use Google.com search engine, search for:

+yeast+free+bread+recipe

You will find recipes and how to alter recipe for lactose intolerance.

Thank you Grandma. The first recipe that showed up - No Yeast White Bread - sounds like the ingredients of a loaf I have bought - but cannot afford very often. The retailer (who iis not the baker) said it took 24 hours to rise. Which is why I asked about salt-rising bread.

Jane, Check at your local library, for a book called the Gluten free Gormet. I found several books at our library under allergy cookbooks. Hope that this helps.

Tracy: No that doesn't particularly help. I am not allergic to the flour which which is what contains the gluten.
I am only allergic to the yeast which is the leavening agent.
Thanks anyway.

Jane, my Mother-in-law is allergic to yeast and sugar ( try to go out to eat with her!) She also has no time to cook. Maybe that's why she is only 104 pounds.... if you get a recipe that you like let me know. I have a bread machine and would like to surprise her with a loaf!

I was wondering if you had any success with your search. I have the same allergies as you and didn't know that you could use salt to make the bread rise!

Noreen: I can use buttermilk even though I am lactose intolerant. Don't know if everyone can though. (And it most likely wouldn't be true if you are allergic to milk; that is, allergic to the proteins in milk.)
A lot of Irish soda bread recipes I've found are OK.

I don't know about a recipe but a good quality sourdough will be yeast free - finding one is another problem since the sourdough at the grocery bakery has yeast in it - but I have found some at health food stores that I like -

Sourdough contains "yeast", it is wild yeast but never the less is still yeast.

Salt rising bread will also contain wild yeast.

The yeast is in the air and will settle into the mixture multiply and make a great starter.

The same takes place in salt rising bread.

Jane,
have you considered the latest "trend" in sandwiches - wraps?
Look for
Corn Tortillas
Flour Tortillas
Injera [Non Yeasted]
Indian Fry Bread
Chapati / Chappati / Chapatti
Roti
Lavash / Lawaash / Lahvosh / Lavosh [Hard Or Soft]
Piadine

Many flatbreads are both yeast and dairy free, and make wonderful sandwiches!

bme: Yes I do know about wrap sandwiches, but ... I have purchased locally (from a fruit and vegetable stand) a fine loaf of bread that looks like regular baker's bread. The lady running the stand told me that the baker is a German lady, and she lets the dough rise overnight (which is why I asked about salt rising bread originally). The ingredients, according to the vendor, were baking powder, flour and vegetable oil if I remember correctly.

I can't rave on enough about this bread. I've been eating sourdough for years and had forgotten how good "regular" bread tasted.
It is too expensive for me to buy on a regular basis however. So I've been madly searching the Net for months for a recipe.
