Raw bread dough

[shnitzel]

I know we recently had a thread about raw cookie dough but what about egg free bread dough?
DD never asks for batter if I am baking but as soon as she senses I am making bread she begs for some dough. I sometimes reluctantly give her a little, it just seems so gross and she loves it and asks for more. She very rarely eats bread baked she tends to lick the butter off. Is there any real reason to avoid feeding it to her?

I don't know where I read it, but I have heard you aren't supposed to eat raw flour for some reason. PArasites, maybe? I don't know. We do eat raw cookie dough, etc...

Ds always wants to eat bread dough too . The one thing that comes to mind is the yeast being a problem. I'm not sure where I read it, or how accurate it is, but I don't let him (or me, for that matter) eat any because of that.
I do let him taste a dab of crust (ie for pot pie) or anything else I make without yeast, though.
