* The heat , the baking soda, and the yeast
its kind of tough, and... bad LOOKING
i would say room temp.
The same as in any other baked good, to cause the waffle to rise when cooked.
The yeast consumes the natural sugars in the dough and causes bubbles to form. This causes the dough to rise. It's being blown up by the yeast.
No, air by itself does not make bread rise. In yeast dough, the micro organisms (yeast) consume sugars in the dough and produce gas. The gas bubbles are trapped in molecules of protein in the dough called gluten. These gas bubbles expand and cause the dough to rise. When the dough is baked, the heat makes the gas bubbles expand further producing soft delicious bread.
To allow the dough to rise so you get a lighter, less dense end product.
Because they are cooked dough.
well cookie dough has the ability to be cooked
Carbon dioxide
The yeast cells in bread dough ferment sugars and produce gas (carbon dioxide). This makes the dough rise.
It has to be room temperature for the dough to rise.
Basically, cooked dough.
