it puffs the product
when baking powder combines with water, it turns into carbon dioxide which rises in the pastry, causing it to puff

Yeast helps to create a lighter, airier structure due to fermentation, while baking powder provides immediate leavening. However, it's important to balance the quantities and allow time for the yeast to activate, which may alter the overall preparation time. Always experiment in small batches to achieve the desired result.
Baking powder contains a combination of an acid and a base that react to produce carbon dioxide gas when moistened and heated. This gas creates bubbles, which help the pastry rise and achieve a light texture. However, using too much baking powder can lead to an overly dense or hard texture, as the excess gas can cause the structure to collapse or become tough. Additionally, insufficient mixing or inadequate liquid can inhibit the proper expansion of the pastry, resulting in a harder final product.
