With yeast, one of yeasts main point is to make dough rise.
Yes, but a lot slower.
Yeast are tiny microscopic animals. Yes, ANIMALS. When you put sugar in bread, yeast eat the sugar and release Carbon Dioxide, causing the gas pockets to make the dough rise.
Yeast is made up of microorganisms (fungi) that feed on starches and sugar, producing gas that makes dough rise. Yeast can digest sugar quicker than starches, so rises faster when sugar is included.
The yeast feeds on the sugar and releases CO2 gas as it does so. The gas bubbles make the dough rise.
Nothing happens. Yeast needs water to activate. Flour doesn't become dough without water. Sugar doesn't dissolve without water. You need water to make something happen.
Yeast turns some of the sugar in bread dough into alcohol and carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide fills the bread with a lot of little bubbles. That makes it easy to eat. Without yeast bread would be like eating raw spaghetti.
Pretzels are made with yeast dough. Cake yeast could be substituted for dry yeast, or one might make a "sponge" or sour dough starter which uses wild yeasts from the air. But some sort of yeast must be used in order to make actual pretzels.
Flour, milk, sugar, salt, yeast
Flour, milk, sugar, salt, yeast.
Yeast is used to make bread by fermenting the dough.
the yeast will react with the warm water, salt and sugar to produce carbon dioxide and alcohol. The carbon dioxide will make the dough rise and become light whilst the alcohol will evaporate when the dough is being baked. The yeast also provides a lot of the flavour of the crust from the breakdown of the starch molecules i the flour that the yeast feeds on.
Use a cake-like dough that uses baking powder for levening.
Sugar acts as a tenderizer during mixing, it absorbs water and slows the development of gluten that can make the dough tough, it is source of nourishment for yeast. the dough rises faster and is more consistent. Sugar gives bread a softer texture and adds to the colour
