No Yeast Ragi Flour Bread

ragi flour bread
After having tried my hands at yeast-free whole wheat bread making, I experimented with no-yeast millet flour (ragi). The result is the same - with the goodness of millet, this has turned out to be a healthy & tasty bread bun!
Ingredients for Yeast Free Finger Millet Bread:
Ragi- 1/2 cup
Whole wheat flour - 1/2 cup
Salt -1/4 tsp
Sugar- 1 tsp
Baking soda- 1 tsp +1/2 tsp lemon juice
Baking powder (3/4 tsp) - I didn't use
Oil or ghee/butter - 2 tsp
Warm Whey - 1/4 cup (or more if required for kneading soft, pliable dough) If you do not have whey, you can take warm milk or add 1/2 warm water to curd/yogurt or simply add lukewarm milk instead

How to Bake Ragi Bread No Yeast


  • Take a bowl.
  • Add oil, sugar, salt and mix.
  • Take a spoon- mix baking soda+ lime juice
  • Add whey to the sugar, salt mix.
  • Add baking soda+lime juice to the flours
  • Knead for 10 minutes into a very soft dough.
  • Set aside.
  • Cover the dough with a moist cloth and keep in a warm place 
  • I rested the dough overnight.
  • Knead the dough again in the morning for 5 minutes.
  • Cut into two halves. 
  • Place a skillet on the gas stove. Keep a heavy bottomed steel plate or bowl or nonstick pan over the skillet.I did it on stovetop. But you may bake it in a microwave. 
  • Grease them and place the two logs.
  • Grease the logs as well.
  • Cover & cook on slow flame for 15-20 mins (may take longer)
  • We need to cook both sides (cooking the second side will take less time)

The dough will rise, though it won't rise as much as a yeast dough. But I want to avoid yeast as much as I can. I have not even included baking powder in the recipe. 

Try it once. I am sure, you will love this healthier yeast-free ragi bread bun.

Can we use the soaked water for millets? Does millet need to be soaked?

Do millets contain anti-nutrients? Yes, they do. In fact, all whole grains, including oats, contain phytates, which bind to minerals and make their absorption difficult for the body. Soaking is the first step toward reducing anti-nutrients from millets. Soak for at least 6-8 hours to make digestion easier. Discard the soaked water and then proceed to the next step of cooking. Remove foam from top to reduce gassy elements from millets.  How long should millet be soaked before cooking? Soaking the millets overnight is a safe practice. Soaking breaks down the phytic acid in millets or for that matter grains and nuts. Phytic acid hinders the absorption of minerals and nutrients in food, including calcium, iron, and zinc. How? Phytates bind to minerals and nutrients and make their absorption difficult in the gut. Your tummy finds it tough to digest millets in that case. So soaking millets and draining off that soaked water makes it easier on your tummy.  Are millets safe for thyroid? Does
