∙ 14y agoDough rises because of a microscopic fungi called Yeast. These yeast eat sugar in the dough and released alcohol and CO2. The CO2 inflates the tiny bubbles in the dough and cause the dough to rise.
People put the dough somewhere warm to rise because the yeast are more active at warm temperatures and will make the dough rise quicker. Dough will still rise even in a place as cold as a fridge, it will just do so very slowly.

Why does bread rise when cooked?
I was taught in school that the yeast feeds on the flour in the dough. It also uses the warmth from the warm water, and it buds, meaning it produces carbon dioxide which makes the bread rise. If you don't knead the bread before you put it in the oven it wont rise properly, because kneading it makes the dough stetchy enough to rise well. It is best if you leave thoe dough to prove in a warm place before you cook it, so the yeast has time to start budding, because after a while in the oven it gets too hot and kills the yeast. Hope i helped! x

As you knead dough many important things take place: the gluten becomes developed so the bread can rise to its fullest, air bubbles are incorporated into the dough necessary for the dough's rise and the ingredients are redistributed for the yeast to feed on resulting in a more active fermentation. This enables the dough to expand to it fullest during the rising and baking steps.
