Yeast is an small animal that eats food like sugar (candy bars,oreo etc) then it farts out a special type of gas. Put yeast in dough eat the sugar in it the releases the gas and makes the dough or bread grow and expand. And we can eat it. Yeast works better in the heat so0 then the bread will expand faster. but not too fast. that why we bake the yeast and dough and at a certain temperature so it does expand to slow or fast.
