Why is yeast added to bread dough covered with cloth before baking?
Answer Are you asking why the yeast or why the cloth? The yeast consumes the sugars in the dough, creating small holes filled with carbon dioxide, making th…e bread "raise". The cloth over the dough keeps the surface from drying out and keeps flies and other flying insects from contaminating the dough.
Can you substitute dry yeast for cake yeast?
Yes, you can. Typical dry yeast packing includes 3 packets of yeast. Each one is equivalent to one cake of yeast. Be careful to follow the package directions for t…he appropriate temperature of the liquid that will make the yeast active. Older recipes sometimes refer to a "large" cake of yeast; that is equivalent to all three packets.

When baking a cake what does it mean when it says to fold one mixture into another mixture?
When baking, folding is a method used to incorporate more air into the mixtures. In order to fold, you need a spatula or a spoon. Carefully pour mixture A into mixture B a lit…tle at a time. Take the spatula, scrape the bottom of the bowl, and take mixture B and "fold" it over the other mixture. Do not simply stir, as that would dispel the air and make the cake heavy. Continue to scrape the bottom of the bowl and flop the mixture A over mixture B until well combined! So basically, you are literally folding the mixture!
What are the baking times for quick bread and yeast bread made in a 7x3x2 metal pan?
Answer Exact times will depend on a variety of factors -- your oven's actual temperature, the ingredients used, etc. Instead, bake until set and light brown, then… test for doneness. For quick breads, insert a toothpick. It should come out with just a crumb or two clinging to it. (Some will tell you it should come out clean, but that's how you get dried out baked goods.) For yeast bread, take the loaf out and thump it like a watermelon (like knocking on a door.) It will sound hollow when done. Enjoy!

The yeast feeds on carbohydrates in the dough and produces Carbon dioxide gas, this is what causes all the little bubbles that are present in bread and what causes it to "rise…." It is left for a while in order for this process to happen and is usually allowed to double in size. Bread with no yeast in it is called "unleaven Bread."

Are baking soda or baking powder yeasts?
Neither baking soda nor baking powder is a yeast, but each is a leavening agent. In addition, baking powder contains cornstarch, which those who observe Passover strictly do n…ot consume. It is correct to say that baking soda and baking powder both are not yeast as yeast is a living fungus. Yeast however is also a leavening agent. Baking soda is bicarbonate of soda or sodium bicarbonate and it's chemical compound formula is NaHCO3. Baking powder is a combination of bicarbonate of soda, corn starch, & usually 2 acids depending on the type of baking powder. Also those who observe Passover do not eat leavened bread, which is bread made without any leavening agent be it baking powder, baking soda, or yeast. Generally unleavened bread for passover is baked with a dough made of flour, water, & salt. (NO LEAVENING AGENT WHATSOEVER)

It is also tradit…ionally known as compressed or cake yeast. It has not undergone the drying process, so it does not need to be dissolved before use: soften the cake in warm water first OR simply crumble the yeast into dry ingredients (if directed by recipe). Fresh yeast requires two rises. Yeast is available in two different sizes: 0.6 ounces and 2 ounce household cakes How do I substitute dry yeast for Fresh Active Yeast?
