The leavening agent reacts with moisture, heat, acidity, or other triggers to produce gas that becomes trapped as bubbles within the dough. When the dough is baked, it "sets" and the holes left by the gas bubbles remain, giving bread the baked goods their soft, sponge-like textures.

Does bread need air to rise?

No, air by itself does not make bread rise. In yeast dough, the micro organisms (yeast) consume sugars in the dough and produce gas. The gas bubbles are trapped in molecules of protein in the dough called gluten. These gas bubbles expand and cause the dough to rise. When the dough is baked, the heat makes the gas bubbles expand further producing soft delicious bread.

How do yeast cells make the pan de sal rise?

What roles does yeast play in bread-making?

Yeast causes bread to rise. EDIT: Yeast reacts with sugar to make carbon dioxide gas. this creates bubbles in the bread mixture, causing the dough to rise. When you cut into a loaf - all those little 'holes' in the bread are the spaces left by the carbon dioxide bubbles !


Why do you need yeast for yeast bread?

You don't need yeast to make bread, but the result is unleavened bread. Yeast is a form of bacteria that produces CO2 bubbles in the dough as it consumes sugars. This makes the bread dough rise and the resultant baked bread is lighter and fluffier - leavened bread.


What role does baking powder play in the process of making bread?

Baking powder helps bread rise by releasing carbon dioxide gas when mixed with liquid and heat, creating air bubbles that make the bread light and fluffy.


Can bread be broken down by microorganisms?

Yes! Yeast is added to the bread dough to make it rise. Yeast is a type of fungi and it converts carbohydrates in the bread into simple sugars that it feeds on in a process called fermentation. By doing this the yeast produce carbon dioxide which causes the bubbles in bread and makes it rise.
