Yeast alternative for bread?

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080120202506AAOKexl

Yeast is a microorganism which is used for fermenting the dough for bread (खमीर). It is classified as an animal and not a plant. I was searching for an alternative for yeast where i came across this lifesaver recipe for yeastless bread.
 

Question:
Is there something that I can use besides baking powder, baking soda, and yeast, sugar, or salt to help bread rise? Please, no sarcasm, and I don't want to hear "You can't make bread without these things."

Answer:
I have a perfect recipe that I just love! You use buttermilk instead of yeast.

Whole Wheat Loaf
Freezes well. Quick to prepare

2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 cups buttemilk, fresh or reconstituted from powder

Preheat oven to 375 F.
Measure first 5 ingredients into bowl. Mix.

Add buttermilk. Stir just to moisten. Turn into greased 9 x 5 x 3 inch (22 x 12.5 x 7.5 cm) loaf pan. Bake in 375 F oven for 55-65 minutes until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand for 2 to 3 minutes.
Remove from pan to rack to cool. Cuts into 16 slices.

This tastes so amazing, especially warm.
Hope you like!
