When yeast is mixed throughly throughout the flower/water mixture and allowed to "rise", as the yeast microorganisms eat some of the mixture, they release carbon dioxide (CO2) that are caputured in small bubbles in the dough. After the dough rises to your satisfaction, baking the dough into bread kills all the yeast and stiffens the bubble walls into the texture of the resulting bread. Mmmmm... good stuff.
