Thank you for this list. We are new to following YAH’s whole book and are attempting to at least do steps for the week of abstaining from leaven.

I appreciate all your efforts at this site… Please understand on a deeper level that leavening in ancient times meant a mixing of one or more of six grains with yeast that caused fermentation. Wine is not a grain and is therefore used at the meal. Beer would be prohibited as it is mixed with a grain. Realize that chemical leavening agents (baking soda or powder)do not require time or fermentation to work. Just a little more information.
