Easy Yeast Free Focaccia: Semolina Bread No Yeast Recipe Airfryer

yeast free bread recipe

Hello again! This time it is desi focaccia again!

You have already tried my previous semolina focaccia recipe, isn't it? I loved that desi focaccia because I did not use any leavening agents there - no baking powder, no baking soda, as it was a naturally fermented batter. Here's the recipe if you are interested.

Nevertheless, I have come up with this desi pizza bread recipe upon request.

I hope you're enjoying my food experiments and innovations. It's been a while since I started baking yeast-free breads at home, for I realize not everyone uses yeast. It is a cause of serious allergy in some people. Some of you do not use yeast due to your religious belief. Fair enough!

We have this yeast free semolina focaccia recipe for you. I call it desi focaccia with semolina, because frankly, I have never tasted focaccia outside.

As far as my research shows, focaccia uses a generous amount of olive oil, which enhances the taste and gives the Italian bread a distinctive flavor and texture.

Since I have not used maida or white flour in the recipe, which is a standard bread ingredient, this is my humble yeast free focaccia for you.

Does it disappoint in taste?

Na, the pizza focaccia recipe doesn't disappoint.

I served the savory pizza focaccia bread to my neighbor and they enjoyed it thoroughly!

This is one easy pizza recipe no yeast that even kids can churn out within minutes. But yes, I would like to mention that I did not have unroasted semolina, so had to use roasted alternative. So the focaccia bread crumbled from one place while slicing.
