If the water is too hot, it kills the yeast. It stops working and therefore wouldn't make the bread rise. If the water was too cold, it wouldn't do anything to the bread. If you use warm water, however, then it gives enough energy to help the yeast work so that the bread can rise, making you're loaf.

Warm water in the dough will help start the yeast (balm) multiplying. Though, once well kneaded, the dough should be covered with a clean cloth, and placed in a warm area to help the dough rise.

Warm water is used to activate the yeast. The yeast used in bread making is a living organism that is sold in a dormant (dry or inactive) state. Warm water hydrates the cells of the yeast so that it becomes active, digesting sugars (either added or the natural sugars in the flour) and producing gas that causes the dough to rise.

You need warm water to make bread because the yeast in the bread grows best in warm water. The yeast undergoes mitosis in warm water more than it does in cold water.

Warm water is usually used for the purpose of activating the yeast in the bread, which causes the bread to rise and gives it its airy texture.

What cooking method makes a bread and not a cake?

To make bread and not cake (!), use all the ingredients for making cakes- BUT, use warm water and yeast. The yeast will produce little air bubbles in the dough and cause a chemical reaction within it to turn it to bread. Do not try the yeast with the usual cake mixture, as it will not only ruin your cake, but it will taste disgusting!Hope this helps :)
