Yeast is a living organism, and works best in higher temperatures. The warmth gives it energy to respire faster, producing more carbon dioxide, making the dough rise.
Why does yeast need hot water?
Warm water is best for yeast because yeast is a living organism that likes to live in similar temperatures to humans. Put yeast in hot water and it dies, put it in cold water and it will not do its job properly (will be too cold to reproduce fast etc). Put it in water that is just right and it will thrive
Why doesn't yeast rise in hot or cold temperatures?
If the temperature is too low, the yeast will remain dormant. If the temperature becomes too hot, the yeast organisms will be overwhelmed and killed before they can respire.
What happens to yeast when added to water?
When yeast is in cold water, it goes dormant. If the water is too cold, though, it will kill the yeast.
Does hot water make yeast rise?
Warm, not hot, water will activate yeast causing them to produce carbon dioxide which causes breads to rise
Will boiling water kill yeast?
Hot water kills yeast. If the water is to hot then the enzymes within the yeast will be denatured and unable to work. Instead warm water must be used to encourage 'growth'.
