Assuming you are making bread, your bread will not rise any higher than if you add what the recipe calls for. Yeast is a live bacteria and when "fed", actually multiplys by itself. It's a waste to add any more and will probably make it taste a little too "yeasty".

The reason it's not necessary to add double the amount is because like I already stated, it grows and multiplies once wet ingredients are added. Since you have only a certain amount of flour, the product can only rise so far. The gas produced by yeast is what makes the bread rise by making "bubbles" in the dough. If the bubbles get too big, they will "pop" and the dough will collapse.

It's a fine balance of the yeast and other ingredients plus the amount of time that the dough rises. The same thing will happen if you let the dough rise too long: too many "bubbles" will form, pop, and the dough will collapse.

There's no reason to double the amount of yeast unless you like that "yeasty" taste.

You could experiment and find out for yourself.

What is the effect in a dough if theres no shortening?

If one forgets to put shortening in dough, the results depend entirely on what type of dough the batch was supposed to be. Breads are often formulated without oil or shortening; the bread would probably be edible, but dryer than it should be. On the other hand, pie dough and many cookies made without the required shortening would turn into inedible messes.


What would happen to the rate of a reaction with rate law rate kNO2H2 if the concentration of NO were double?

The rate would quadruple (increase by a factor of 4). This is because the rate depends on the SQUARE of the concentration of NO.


Can I make giant cookies out of regular cookie dough?

Yes all you would need is to bake it for a longer time and double the recipe then you would need a bigger cookie sheet.


If you add hydrochloric acid to water what effect would it have on the H plus concentration on the pH?

Hydrochloric acid is HCl. It is a H plus (H^+) donor, and so adding it to water will INCREASE the H^+ concentration. Increasing the H^+ concentration results in a DECREASE in pH.


How can you tell if your pizza dough has risen?

Let it sit for probably no more than an hour. It should double in size. I would recommend whatever the recipe tells you.


Who did the job of the baker?

why would you use a dough divider?

A dough divider helps you divide the dough into equal portions to ensure proper cooking of all the portions.Example so that the bread dough is divided so that each bread roll would bake evenly.


Omitting baking affect the taste of a cookie how do i get the data conclusion and results?

You would get the data by making up a batch of cookies, baking some of them, and seeing if they taste the same as the unbaked ones (careful with this; if the dough contains raw egg, it could make you sick). The conclusions and results would come from your observations about the taste of the cookies.


How are refrigerator dough and regular roll dough different?

"Refrigerator dough" could refer to any refrigerated unbaked product, from cookies to crescent rolls. Regular roll dough would be used to make rolls.


Suppose that the enzyme concentration was increased by a factor of four what would be the value of km and vmax?

KM would not change, since it is a constant. Vmax would half, because Vmax depends on the concentration of the enzyme.
