Anything that ferments over a shorter or longer period of time - some people use beer, other sodium bicarbonate, others use sour milk or home made cheese if fatty and the last option is a mixture of flour, fat and water that is left for a few days and to which it is periodically added more flour and water (this last one is the recipe our grandmothers used). Try a good cookery book because a good recipe is essential for a beginner. It just gives that satisfaction to see professional results with very little effort. Changing a recipe and still having a good result requires a significant amount of knowledge and experience in the kitchen or a good amount of luck.
Remember to knead well and long your dough if you're making bread...
Good luck!
Place it in a cooler enviroment.
Pretzels are made with yeast dough. Cake yeast could be substituted for dry yeast, or one might make a "sponge" or sour dough starter which uses wild yeasts from the air. But some sort of yeast must be used in order to make actual pretzels.
Yes, yeast is typically needed to make pizza dough as it helps the dough rise and gives it a light and airy texture.
Yeast is used to make bread by fermenting the dough.
With yeast, one of yeasts main point is to make dough rise.
You can make bread, pizza dough, rolls, and other baked goods with yeast.
Yeast are tiny microscopic animals. Yes, ANIMALS. When you put sugar in bread, yeast eat the sugar and release Carbon Dioxide, causing the gas pockets to make the dough rise.
to make the dough rise

Yeast is usually needed to make dough rise. The yeast prefer warmer temperatures as they break down the sugars in the yeast to make carbon dioxide- which make it rise. Follow the instructions on the yeast's packet in order to find out the desired "magic" water temperature.
Yeast dough will rise more slowly if kept at a lower temperature. Chilling the dough in a refrigerator will cause slow, overnight rising. One can also use less yeast in proportion to the flour in the recipe.
To show that yeast was responsible for making the dough rise, you can conduct an experiment where you prepare two batches of dough- one with yeast and one without. Allow both doughs to rise, and observe that the dough with yeast rises significantly more due to the yeast's fermentation process producing gases that make the dough expand.
