What happens if you omit backing soda from a recipe?
Posted by: Vince(1152) ()

I'm making banana bread right now and got to the point of mixing the dry ingredients, but discovered I have no baking soda. I've got the others (baking powder,salt, flour, sugar).

I don't want to drive the 3-4 miles merely to buy a $1 box of baking soda. What happens to the banana bread if I don't have baking soda? Anybody know what baking soda adds to the final product?

The dough probably won't rise as much.

It will be very dense and heavy but edible. Try toasting it and serving with butter...

Just eliminate the baking powder too, bake at 450 degrees and enjoy your....banana cookies!

Thanks, guys. You were right ... dono in particular. It's still warm and tastes good; just a little denser than it probably should be, but what the heck.

I'd send you all a slice if I could.

(... btw, a bit surprised at the lack of gay and crude comments; what's with that?)

Allergic to banana bread? That's un-American.

At least i watch pro sports like a real man, a real AMERICAN man. I am beginning to suspect you may be some kind of foreigner with the way you're always calling out people's americanism...like you're trying to cover for something. lol

So you had some bananas that were on the verge of spoiling, huh? I usually just make some milkshakes out of them. The blacker they are, the sweeter the milkshake and the stronger the banana flavor.

In the future, you can always do a search on Google for "substitute for x" (or "substitute for x in y recipe"). There's almost always a readily available replacement for an ingredient you are missing.

Here's one example:

The function of conservatives is not to meet every liberal program or scheme with a denunciation or a destructive counterscheme, but rather to weigh its advantages and defects, supporting the first and challenging the second. A declaration of ideological warfare against liberalism is by its nature profoundly unconservative. It meets perceived radicalism with a counterradicalism of its own.

Thanks for the link, Thurston.

I'm just a novice - don't know but to follow recipes.
