Dough for bread only heeds yeast if you want to make light fluffy bread. If you want to make "hard tack" or "zwieback" or "matzos" then you can forgo the rising agent (yeast). Yeast converts carbohydrates (sugars and starches) into alcohol and carbon dioxide. The alcohol evaporates and the CO2 gets trapped in the pockets of dough (thanks to a large degree to the gluten in wheat). These pockets of gas remain after baking making the bread light and tasty.

Where in yeast does fermentation occur?

Yeast itself causes fermentation, when added to a suitable mix, such as oats (beer), fruit (wines) or a flour mix (dough). This requires the addition of some moisture, warmth and perhaps a bit of sugar. What happens is that yeast will grow (multiply) and this process releases various gasses and chemicals. This is what causes fruit to become alcoholic, and causes dough to rise so you can bake bread.
