The fermentation (growth of microorganisms as they digest sugar) in any yeast dough is obvious when the dough rises. If the dough does not rise, you know that fermentation has not taken place.

Not that I know of. Yeast is a kind of food that makes bread rise! Emma
Because it is. as you know bread is yeast therefore yeast rises to the top and expands leaving the bread bigger than it was. Source: www.eatmypooanddrinkmypee.co.uk
Bread, baked items that rise while being cooked. Beers and yeast extract is added to foods to enrich the flavor
If you've ever seen pita bread, you know it is perfectly flat. It is an unleavened bread. All bread would be flat if not for leavening, yeast being a prime example. Feeding on the sugars in the bread dough the yeast creates carbon dioxide gas, which "inflates" the dough (we say "the bread rises"). The baked loaf retains this "inflated" shape.
Instant yeast is a dry yeast developed in the past thirty years. It comes in smaller granules than active dry yeast, absorbs liquid rapidly, and doesn't need to be hydrated or "proofed" before being mixed into flour. Bread Machine Yeast is instant yeast that may include ascorbic acid, a dough conditioner. You can use them interchangeably.
dont know where they got the yeast when you live on a farm in the middle of no where ?
I want to know too, but using double or triple the amount of yeast helps.
The exact origin of the first leavened or yeast bread is not definitively known, as it dates back thousands of years. However, it is believed that ancient Egyptians were among the first to create leavened bread around 1500 BC, likely by accident when wild yeast from the environment fermented dough. This process led to the discovery of bread that rose and became lighter in texture compared to flatbreads.
If you're using dried yeast, Yes. You can also buy active yeast in jars, generally in the refrigerator section and use that instead. However, it doesn't technically rise in warm water, the liquid allows the yeast to be reactivated. You can then add this to bread dough and the yeast digesting the sugar in the bread give off CO2 as a byproduct which allows the dough to rise and gives it those characteristic holes.
The holes are gases from the yeast eating the sugar in the dough. These bubbles are what makes the bread light rather than solid like a cracker. As much as it may seem a bit gross, the gas is essentially yeast farts!
Without having the recipe, there is no way to know what effect water is going to have. Yeast bread or quick bread? Water will usually cause a harder crust to form. I don't know that it would change the fluffiness one way or the other.
