Dried milk and powdered eggs. Why not pack it over to the Introductions section and tells us a bit about yourself?

You know Pilot Bread isn't easily found in the lower 48. It's standard issue in AK, but rare down here in Montana

Self rising flour isn't a substitute for yeast. It simply has baking powder and baking soda added in. I forget the exact measurments, but if you have all purpose flour you can make self-rising by adding those two ingredients. There's also different gluten levels to the flour, so while the recipe may call for self-rising and you make it with all purpose, don't expect it to have the same texture, and cake flour will definitley **** it up. Bread flour is the best to buy if you are going to be making bread with it, but all purpose is a good all around flour to stock. Bread flour also goes rancid faster. But there are tons of baking sites that can provide you a discourse on the different flour types, their uses, and shelf life. ;)
