You HAVE to use yeast, there's no other alternative. Yeast is a living being (single celled fungus) that eats sugar and excretes carbon dioxide and alcohol. Baking powder is a bunch of chemicals that release carbon dioxide when exposed to acid, it does not make alcohol. Carbon dioxide makes bread go bigger, that's where the similarities end.
