I'm pretty sure it's both, because while yeast and flour mixed with water smells alcoholic (which is a sign of fermentation), when it's mixed with yeast and water it smells like milk. Also, it barely grows, less than just yeast and water.

Correct me if I'm wrong!

What happens when you add too much salt to your yeast bread?

In yeast breads, salt limits the action of yeast by killing it. If you have too much salt, you might kill the yeast too quickly. The bread might also taste salty. In quick breads (those that rise with baking soda and/or baking powder), salt is used to add flavor, so too much salt will just make the bread taste more salty.


Why cant salt and yeast make the balloon inflate?

As anyone who bakes bread, or brew wines and beers will know, yeast needs a moist, warm environment in which there is dissolved liquid sugar available (not salt). The yeast cells rapidly multiply as the yeast feeds off the sugar, and gives off carbon dioxide gas and alcohol. It is the carbon dioxide gas that will inflate the balloon. Salt would probably kill off the yeast.
