Why is yeast added to bread dough and the dough covered with a cloth and set aside a few hours after baking?
The yeast feeds on carbohydrates in the dough and produces Carbon dioxide gas, this is what causes all the little bubbles that are present in bread and what causes it to "rise." It is left for a while in order for this process to happen and is usually allowed to double in size. Bread with no yeast in it is called "unleaven Bread."

After dry yeast is activated with warm liquid and added to the flour and other ingredients it will start to work on the rising process. Normally the dough is kneaded immediately after mixing and then set aside, covered, in a draft free warm area to rise or "proof". Many bread recipes call for 2 times rising. After the first rise it is punched down and formed into loaves or individual rolls and then left to rise again before baking.
