Hi, what if the only flour you have is self-rising? I suppose I could get a different kind but use flour so rarely I hate to buy it.

Without yeast or baking powder you end up with what is basically a variation of a tortilla. Here in India, depending upon the area you live in, it is called either a chapati or rooti or other local names.
What will happen is that you will end up with something that is like what you get if you take a piece of bread dough and stretch it out or roll it out and then bake it. Because of the leavening it ends up airy like in cinnamon rolls. Or if
stretched and then fried, it is either “indian flatbread” or “wind-biscuits” or some other local name in the western USA.
Actually, the leavened bread that is stretched out and then fried is very good and goes well with anything from butter or honey-butter to things like cinnamon sugar, peanut butter and honey, etc on it.
Enjoy,
Dexter

Basically, as Dexter said, it just won’t be quite such flatbread. Still be good, just a little more puffy. If you don’t mind that though, there’s no reason whatsoever why you can’t just use self rising flour.

Hello to all. Thanks for the tips and answer. I will be making it with what I have. I believe it’s Cortny who says, “Use what you have.” So, we will see. Should be a tasty experience.
