In colonial times people saved their breads yeast by putting the bread on the window sill to collect the natural yeast from the air. They also collected or made their yeast from sourdough.
Yeast had been around for thousands of years. The ancient Egyptians used yeast.
Medieval brewers used naturally-occuring yeast in flowers and leafy herbs which were added to the mix; they really did not understand where yeast came from and almost used it "accidentally", but understood that the yeast froth from a fermenting vat could be scraped off and used in the next batch.The term for yeast in Middle English is goddes good, meaning God's Good, implying that it was a sacred and mysterious substance created and given by God.
Nutritional yeast is a form of deactivated yeast called "saccharomyces cerevisiae." It is made by mixing sugarcane and beet molasses, then harvesting, washing, drying and packaging the yeast.
Yeast expands because in the heat, it eats and digests sugar, and then it produces carbon dioxide gas.
Under a microscope a yesat should have long filamentous hyphae whereas bacteria are simple rods or cocci. Acidic or antibacterial mediums should kill most bacteria most fungi (including yeasts) will remain living.
Breads, rolls, & doughnuts
Gluten is developed in yeast breads when the flour is mixed with water.

No it is not. Yeast is simply a common ingrediant in breads.
a yeast dough uses yeast and a quick bread uses baking powder or baking soda.
Yeast is only used in bread products. It causes the fermentation process, which causes the breads to rise.
No, not all bread contains yeast. Some breads, like unleavened bread, are made without yeast. Yeast is used in many bread recipes to help the dough rise and create a light, fluffy texture, but there are also breads that are made without yeast, such as flatbreads or quick breads.
Quick breads are leavened with baking powder or baking soda. Yeast breads are leavened with yeast, and require more time to rise.
to help it rise
Non-rising yeast does exist. It can be used to make no-rise rolls and other baked goods. Generally, people will use rising yeast to make their breads.
Sourdough breads are still made from flour, water, yeast, and bacteria
in a closed container and then refrigerate.
