Why is yeast added to bread dough and the dough covered with a cloth and set aside a few hours after baking?

The yeast feeds on carbohydrates in the dough and produces Carbon dioxide gas, this is what causes all the little bubbles that are present in bread and what causes it to "rise." It is left for a while in order for this process to happen and is usually allowed to double in size. Bread with no yeast in it is called "unleaven Bread."

How do the microbes in bread work?
