the yeast will react with the warm water, salt and sugar to produce carbon dioxide and alcohol. The carbon dioxide will make the dough rise and become light whilst the alcohol will evaporate when the dough is being baked. The yeast also provides a lot of the flavour of the crust from the breakdown of the starch molecules i the flour that the yeast feeds on.
