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.
