Why is my dough not rising when I use baking powder?
Because baking powder is designed to release carbon dioxide in the presence of moisture and heat. When you add baking powder to a cake recipe the batter does not begin to rise until after you begin to bake it in the oven. Proving refers to the way a bread dough rises under the influence of yeast. This is an organic process with the yeast organism feeding on the sugar in the flour, multiplying and releasing gas.The gas is captured by the stretchy sheets of gluten in the dough, gluten that has been stretched and spread during the kneading process - that is why bread need time to rise BEFORE baking. If you want to make a bread using baking powder you need to use a recipe for Baking Powder Bread, or you could make Soda Bread, Scones, or unleavened bread. Sourdough bread can be made without adding any yeast but in that case you must first create a starter by causing the natural yeasts in Rye flour to multiply. There is no proving or rising time required for baking powder or baking soda breads, that all happens in the oven. They are quick breads. You can have Irish Soda Bread on the table 30 minutes after you begin mixing it.

If you bake cupcakes with Plain flour and without Baking Powder they will be very flat, about the same size as the raw mixture, it won't be light and fluffy but quite dense. It is also a good idea to not substitute Self Raising flour in a recipe that calls for Plain and Baking Powder (and vice versa), as the amount is usually tailored to give just the right amount of rise to the food.

Baking powder is a raising agent commonly used in cakes, biscuits, etc. If a recipes calls for baking powder, you should use it as it performs the important function of producing gases during the baking process which creates lift and aeration.

Does the Bake Only cycle on a bread machine include time for rising?
You should to go the manufacturer's web site for your specific bread machine, and download the instruction manual for your specific model. On a Panasonic bread machine, the bake-only setting is used to bake cake or quick-bread. Typically, those are breads that do not require a rise time, as there is no yeast. The bread rises due to baking soda or powder. On a Regal machine, the "bake only" setting is for those times when you try a recipe and for whatever reason, your bread still is not done. You can select "bake only" to add more baking time for the loaf. So in that case, no, there is not rise time. The machine just heats up and acts like an oven, and bakes your loaf for more time, (whatever you specify, 10 minutes up to several hours.) "Bake Only" can mean different things to different manufacturers. You really need to read the manual for your specific machine.
