Yeast causes bread to rise.

EDIT: Yeast reacts with sugar to make carbon dioxide gas. this creates bubbles in the bread mixture, causing the dough to rise. When you cut into a loaf - all those little 'holes' in the bread are the spaces left by the carbon dioxide bubbles !

Yeast makes the bread rise and expand and also adds flavour to the bread. The less yeast you put in, the flatter the bread will be. the heat increases the yeast production, making it rise and be fluffy.
