Bread without yeast in the past...

not a question, a comment.
my mum was born on a farm 1903.....they had to bake their own bread..had no electricity. of course...and I remember being told they made their "yeast" from potato peelings...............how I do not know....maybe they let them ferment?
I hope we do not have to find out . (smile) keep up the good work Lindsey. cheers, Audrey

Dear Audrey,
Thank you for your post. Yeast has been stripped off the shelves so there will be a lot of searching for alternatives.
Delia’s Mum is 100 and I love hearing her stories about her childhood in Wales.
Keep safe
