Yes - but you cannot just convert yeasted bread recipe by adding baking powder instead of yeast. The method required is different and must be designed to match the raising agent used. Bread made without yeast tends to go stale more quickly and what is not eaten on the first day is better toasted after that.
Here are recipes for Baking Powder Bread and Irish Soda Bread. Both of them are really just like making a batch of scones but without portioning the dough into individual pieces.
Baking Powder Bread
(Purported to be from Katherine Mansfield's mother)
3 cups wholemeal flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon golden syrup
¼ cup hot water
½ cup milk
Combine dry ingredients. Dissolve the syrup in the hot water then add the milk -reserving a little. Make a scone dough, knead lightly and briefly and form into a long loaf slashing the top diagonally. Bake at 170° for 15-30 minutes till hollow when tapped.
Irish Soda Bread
2 cups plain flour
2 cups wholemeal flour
1 tsp salt
2 tsps baking soda
2 cups buttermilk (or plain yoghurt or milk acidulated with vinegar)
Preheat the oven to 200°.
Sift together the flour, salt and baking soda. Make a well and stir in the milk with a wooden spoon, to make a soft but not sticky dough. Turn onto a floured board and knead lightly for a minute till smooth. Shape to a smooth round loaf, place on a floured tray and cut a deep cross in the top from side to side. Bake for 30 minutes till done. Cool on a wire rack.

Why use baking powder?
Baking powder allows the dough to rise, and is often used with salt.
Can you replace baking powder with baking soda in sugar cookies?
Only substitute baking soda for baking powder if the cookie dough will be baked within 30 minutes of mixing. Baking soda begins to lose potency as soon as it gets wet so baking powder is used when the dough will be allowed to sit for a long time before baking.
Why is baking powder important to a recipe?
If baking powder is called for in a recipe, it is essential. The base and acid components in the powder, when wet, create the air bubbles that cause the dough to rise, making the end product soft and allowing it to cook thoroughly. Without the baking powder or baking soda (see below), the result of baking unleavened dough will be just hot dough or perhaps dough dried hard. If you have no baking powder but have baking soda, you can substitute a combination of baking soda plus an acidic ingredient, such as molasses, buttermilk or yogurt, or even a little citrus juice.
What can you substitute for ammonia-bicarbonate?
A substitute for ammonia-bicarbonate would be baking powder. Ammonia-bicarbonate is used with or without yeast in the baking industry to make dough rise.
What is the purpose of baking soda in baking?
Baking soda is referred to as sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate and, as you may know, it looks like a fine, white powder. Baking powder is primarily used, in cooking, as a leavening agent. This means that when used for baking purposes, it reacts with the other ingredients in whatever you are making, to release carbon dioxide, which when working with dough, this helps to make the dough rise. Now for the most part, when you read recipes, you may find them asking for baking powder as opposed to baking soda. This is because baking powder is another leavening agent, just as baking soda, but it is also mixed with an acid. I hope this provides an answer you are looking for.
What is baking powder used for?
Baking powder is useful for mixing into many types of batter and dough as leavening. It already contains an acid, so it does not need additional acid in the batter, as baking soda needs. Some baked good that use baking powder as leavening are Quick Breads, Cookies, Biscuits, Cornbread, Muffins, Pancakes and Waffles.
What are the uses of baking powder?
Baking powder can be used for cleaning, cooking and odor control.
Can you use cornflower as a substitute for baking soda?
No. Corn starch is usually used as a thickener (for gravies, soups, puddings, etc)., whereas baking soda is used as a puffer-upper for biscuits, cookies and unleavened breads and so on. Use flour as a substitute for corn starch, and baking powder as a substitute for baking soda.
Baking powder is used in the preparation of breads and cakes?
Yes, baking powder is used in preparation of cakes, but few breads. Baking powder and baking soda are leavens, which cause them to rise. Three to four teaspoons of baking powder is used in making biscuits. But most breads have yeast, in some cases salt, to make them rise.
