Because it has alcohol. Bread that is leavened by yeast will have alcohol because yeast consumes sugars creating CO2 and alcohol as a by-product. To reduce the amount of the by-product use less sugar. I've found that making bread without any sugar (the starches in flour are sufficient for the microbes to grow) results in minimal alcohol. There is a downside to doing this, however; we're used to sweet-tasting bread, and without sugar you're not going to have it.
I'm a Mormon, and we do not drink alcohol. So, this has bugged me. Still, I believe I just have to be careful. Oh, another thing... another way to reduce the alcohol content in sweet breads is to monitor rising time carefully. Over-risen bread will have a lot more.

∙ 13y agoThis is because when you bake the bread and i assume you are talking about "Beer Bread" it is because the alcohol is evaporated out of the bread the same applies to the beer but chicken it is just used to keep the moisture in.

What happens to alcohol in bread when it is baked?
Alcohol has a very low boiling point, compared to water, therefore it evaporates during the backing process. The wonderfull smell that is associated with bread baking is a mixture of evaporated alcohol, and ozone (another byproduct of bread baking).
Why baking powder is used in rising cake and bread?
Baking powder is used in cakes since it is relatively 'taste free' and a quick/easy to use leavener. But baking powder is rarely used in breads - yeast is used as the primary leavener in breadmaking. (Yeast is what gives bread it's bread taste plus irregular air bubbles).
What type of grains in pot beer bread?
Any grain or combination of grains may be used to ferment and used to make bread. The bread will contain no alcohol because the heat will drive the alcohol out of the bread while baking.
Why don't we get drunk eating bread?
Beacuse bread doesn't contain any alcohol. Bread is baked in an oven and any small quantities of alcohol which might have been present in the dough from the action of yeast would boil away during the baking process.
When was the fist pizza made?
In italy. They used the thin flour to taste the temperature of ovens for baking bread
Explain ways in which anaerobic respiration is used in the making of alcohol beverages and bread?
When yeasts are used to make bread and for brewing, their ability to respire anaerobically makes them useful. They produce the alcohol for the beer/wine, and the CO2 for the baking. The CO2 makes the bread or pastry rise; the alcohol evaporates during the baking process
I don't want to go blind. Will bread yeast create Ethanol?
Yes. Special beer- or wine-making yeast are selectively bred for taste and alcohol tolerance, but I have been using ordinary baking yeast for home brewing for years, with great results.
Is it ok to use olive oil in place of shortening in baking banana bread?
Not really, because olive oil has quite a distinctive taste which will impact negitively upon the taste of the cake.
What does yeast do in bread dough?
Baking yeast makes food rise and gives it a fluffy taste and feel to your food.
What happens when you add too much salt to your yeast bread?
In yeast breads, salt limits the action of yeast by killing it. If you have too much salt, you might kill the yeast too quickly. The bread might also taste salty. In quick breads (those that rise with baking soda and/or baking powder), salt is used to add flavor, so too much salt will just make the bread taste more salty.
Where can one learn to do bread baking?
One can learn to do bread baking online. Some of the useful websites about bread baking are Cooking Light, Sustain Web, Virtuous Bread, Instructables and Epicurious.
