Substitute baking powder for yeast in a focaccia?

Question

I was going to make a focaccia-like dish, but found that I don't have any yeast. Can I substitute it with baking powder? How?

So buy yeast. Another formula, would create something else. – Optionparty Apr 06 '13 at 02:10 — Optionparty, Apr 06 '13 at 02:10

Short answer: no, you cannot without radically changing the recipe until it is something completely different.

Thanks, I guess I'll have to make a flatbread-type of thing instead. – Joni Mar 03 '13 at 12:20
I have two spare jars of yeast to prevent this problem :-) You could try a soda bread if you have buttermilk and baking soda around.... – SAJ14SAJ Mar 03 '13 at 12:21
