I'm pretty sure its the yeast that makes it rise. did you know that yeast is actually a living organism? its alive.
when sugar and yeast is added to dough the dough literally comes up or blows itself a little big. That is why buns are so bulky
The dough will not rise.
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.
because it helps the fermentation of the yeast.
Yeast dough is dough (basically a mixture of flour, water, salt) to which yeast (a form of fungi) has been added to cause the dough to 'rise', add in dimension by filling the dough with carbon dioxide given off by the yeast. Dough without yeast does not expand.
I guess you don't have to put yeast in, cause yeast is for making the bread rise
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.
Without yeast, dough would not rise or bake properly.
Leavening means to put something into dough which ferments and causes the dough to rise. The most commonly used leavening is yeast.
no its not
The yeast cells in bread dough ferment sugars and produce gas (carbon dioxide). This makes the dough rise.
Put a little of the yeast in a glass of warm water. If you see tiny bubbles, the yeast is still good. If not, adding the dead yeast will not make the dough rise.
