Does rice flour have yeast?

No, rice flour does not naturally contain yeast; it's just ground rice, but you can add yeast or other leaveners like baking powder to recipes using rice flour to help them rise, as it lacks gluten to trap gas like wheat flour does. Because rice flour is gluten-free, it behaves differently in baking, requiring adjustments or alternative leavening agents (like baking soda/powder, eggs, or xanthan gum) to achieve lift and structure.
