Yeast is a living organism, and works best in higher temperatures. The warmth gives it energy to respire faster, producing more carbon dioxide, making the dough rise.

Does hot water make yeast rise?
Warm, not hot, water will activate yeast causing them to produce carbon dioxide which causes breads to rise
Why does dough rise faster on a hot day?
Yeast grows quicker in warmer tempratures. More yeast makes more CO2 which causes the bread to rise more.
What happens to yeast when added to water?
When yeast is in cold water, it goes dormant. If the water is too cold, though, it will kill the yeast.
Why do you use warm water in bread making?
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.
Why does yeast need hot water?
Warm water is best for yeast because yeast is a living organism that likes to live in similar temperatures to humans. Put yeast in hot water and it dies, put it in cold water and it will not do its job properly (will be too cold to reproduce fast etc). Put it in water that is just right and it will thrive
What type of water will things float down faster in warm or cold?
Cold will sink to the bottom. Hot water will rise to the top.
Does Skittles dissolve faster in cold water or hot?
Probably hot water.
Why doesn't yeast rise in hot or cold temperatures?
If the temperature is too low, the yeast will remain dormant. If the temperature becomes too hot, the yeast organisms will be overwhelmed and killed before they can respire.
Will boiling water kill yeast?
Hot water kills yeast. If the water is to hot then the enzymes within the yeast will be denatured and unable to work. Instead warm water must be used to encourage 'growth'.
Will yeast activate with sugar if the water is too hot?
No, if the water is too hot, it can kill the yeast. The water needs to be between 90 and 110 degrees (F.)
Why does yeast grow in hot water?
The heat provides energy for the enzymes in the yeast to work. If the water is to hot however, the enzymes will be denatured, and the yeast will not grow.
Does ice melts faster in hot water?
ice melts faster in hot water because the hot water is transfering the separate particles in hot
