It's not that baking without yeast is any more useful than yeast, but if there is an alternative and an opportunity to lighten the dish in some way, it's worth using it. And in order for the pastry to turn out airy and bake well, baking powder or soda is added to the dough. In some cases, you can do without them.

Instead of yeast for baking, for example, bread, you can use homemade homemade sourdough. However, it will have to be prepared in advance. This is how it is done:
- Whole grain rye flour is mixed with water to the thickness of sour cream and placed in a warm place under a napkin.
- A day later, flour is added to the starter, water is added to the thickness of sour cream.
- After another day, the procedure is repeated.
- After three days, the starter is ready for use. Some of it can be left, feeding it from time to time to use after.
It is prepared not only on rye flour, but also on:
- raisins
- kefir
- hop cones
- wheat
- rye
The starter culture consists of bacteria and a certain type of yeast, which have nothing to do with standard store-bought yeast.

In other types of yeast-free baking, you can use slaked soda. Soda is usually quenched in vinegar, citric acid, sour cream, kefir, and hot water. And this is done only to muffle the soda flavor. Baking powder is good because it does not have an unpleasant taste. In some pastries, both it and soda are added.
Another “airman” - egg whites whipped to stable peaks. They are mixed into the dough carefully, with uniform movements from the bottom up immediately before baking.
Any products for which yeast is usually used can be prepared from yeast-free dough: pies, pies, belyashi, pizza, rolls, etc. Its main advantage is faster cooking.
