Baker's Yeast
Baker's yeast is a leavening agent used in baking bread. Use of this leavening agent in bread-making results in a light and tasty bread. Without yeast, bread has a heavier texture, is less tasty and often called flatbreads.

What are the three leavening gasses that make baked products rise?
The three leavening gases in cooking are air, steam, and carbon dioxide.
Air becomes incorporated no matter what. All breads use air as a leavening gas.
Steam is produced when most breads are cooked. Hot cooking temperatures cause the liquid to boil and become steam.
Carbon Dioxide is produced by reactions between ingredients. The ingredients that may be used to produce carbon dioxide are baking soda, baking powder, and yeast.
Can yeast be produced very quickly?
Give it lots of water. Make sure it has lots of friends, because like rabbits, they die if they feel lonely. Also make sure to take its temperature regularily. They get sick.Also, baked goods is it's favorite.
Why does yeast bread need to be punched?
it is punched down because whenmaking bread you wnat it to be warm, flaky and soft. punching the dough meks the air bubbles leave so there are no pockets and the dough will come out soft and chewy not so coarse in texture.
What foods contain yeast and mold?
Yeast is used in making bread and beer; mold is used in making blue cheese.
Where does yeast come from in cooking?
Yeasts have asexual and sexual reproductive cycles; however the most common mode of vegetative growth in yeast is asexual reproduction by budding or fission. Here a small bud, or daughter cell, is formed on the parent cell. The nucleus of the parent cell splits into a daughter nucleus and migrates into the daughter cell. The bud continues to grow until it separates from the parent cell, forming a new cell. The bud can develop on different parts of the parent cell depending on the genus of the yeast.Yeast needs the exact chemical form of sugar and cannot reproduce with sugar substitutes. However if the sugar substitute's chemical form is similar to sugar, yeast will reproduce a bit compared to many sugar substitutes where yeast will not reproduce at all. Under high stress conditions haploid cells will generally die, however under the same conditions diploid cells can undergo sporulation, entering sexual reproduction (meiosis) and producing a variety of haploid spores, which can go on to mate (conjugate), reforming the diploid. Yeast of the species Schizosaccharomyces pombe reproduce by binary fission instead of budding
Can a guy be a carrier of yeast infections?
Not to be funny, but until he carefully cleans his penis after every sexual encounter with the woman. I mean very carefully... every crease and fold. It's probably easier to clean when erect. Additionally, if the man is not circumsized, hygiene is more difficult and especially important. Ivory soap is supposed to be good, and a washcloth rather than just a hand will clean better.
What happens to yeast when the temperature is too high?
during baking, the products of fermentation will swell and smells depending on its degree of fermentation
Is two packages of dry yeast equivalent to a small cake of yeast?
No they are not exactly the same, but very similar.
Bread Machine Yeast is added to the dry ingredients, whereas Active Dry Yeast is added to the liquid.
You can adding Active Dry Yeast to the warmed liquid (110-degrees or cooler) in the machine instead of adding Bread Machine Yeast on top of the dry ingredients. You however should not use the timed to bake later function if doing this.
Also you can grind Active Dry Yeast to a finer powder using a spice mill or mortar and pestle.
Also be aware that the weight of one teaspoon of Bread Machine Yeast as it is a finer powder and so more will fit in a teaspoon will be slightly different (+10%) from 1 teaspoon of Active Dry Yeast
1 teaspoon Bread Machine Yeast = 3.11 grams
1 teaspoon Active Dry Yeast = 2.83 grams
So add 2 extra pinches of Active Dry yeast to correct the recipe.,
______________________________
Bread Machine Yeast is yeast that is ground into finer particles and so does not need to be dissolved in water like Active Dry Yeast and so you can add it along with the dry ingredients.
Both Bread Machine Yeast and Active Dry Yeastrequire two rises of the dough.
There is also Rapid RIse Yeast which has added enzymes and additives so only requires one rise.
Where are Sister Schubert's blueberry yeast rolls?
Sister Schubert's rolls come in a round tin filled with 12-16 small rolls. The middle rolls are always the best. You can find Sister Schubert's rolls in the freezer section of most southern supermarkets, you can also order them online at www.sisterschuberts.com, or you can order them by phone by calling 1-888-55-ROLLS.
Why is yeast important in alcoholic drinks?
In baking yeast is used typically as a leavening agent, meaning it causes the bread to rise. The yeast digests sugars from the bread dough and produces carbon dioxide, which raises the bread.
In brewing, yeast serves two purposes: producing alcohol from the sugars in malt, and--in bottle or cask-conditioned beers--in carbonation. The yeast digests some of the sugars from the malt and produces alcohol and carbon dioxide (and various other molecules). During the fermentation process the carbon dioxide is the byproduct and is bled off to the atmosphere. For bottle-conditioned beers, the carbon dioxide from the yeast is forced into suspension in the liquid and causes the beer to be carbonated.
What is difference brewers yeast and distillers yeast?
In theory you can use any strain of S. cerveccies in the winemaking process but the final results will vary.
A distiller's yeast is bred to produce as high an alcohol content wash as is possible.
Wine yeasts on the other hand are bred to produce some alcohol but to also enhance the the different flavours in the grape juice, usually tropical fruit like flavours in Whites and darker fruit flavours in Reds.
In the interests of science this experiment would be worth a try, however expect the end product to taste "different" to what you may expect.
What are the ideal conditions for yeast to grow?
It needs moisture, food, and warmth. Dissolved in luke warm water with a little sugar are the perfect conditions.
Why is the temperature of the liquid so important when using yeast?
Yeast contain enzymes which catalyze (speed up) the rate of chemical reaction and works best at an optimum temperature. If the temperature is too high, the enzymes will be denatured and if the temperature is too low, the enzymes will become inactive so in both cases, the enzymes would not work.
In baking, the enzyme in the yeast is used to help convert sugar into an alcohol and carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide rises to 'inflate' the dough, hence giving the bread or the baked product a fluffy and spongy texture (like how you see bread get inflated in the oven). And as for the alcohol, since it gets evaporated easily, will be evaporated off. The yeast will die due to the overwhelming heat in the oven.
Hence if the water for mixing yeast is too high or low, the enzymes in the yeast cannot work and you won't get the soft, springy texture in your bread.
How is yeast used uin the food industry?
Yeast is used in the food industry as it is used a lot in bread and some cakes. so your sandwiches that you are eating is from a food industry that uses yeast.
No, fizzy drinks have carbon dioxide gas in them to make them fiz.Fizzy drinks is a beverage that typically contains carbonated water, a sweetener and a flavoring. The sweetener may be sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, fruit juice, sugar substitutes (in the case of diet drinks) or some combination of these. Soft drinks may also contain caffeine, colorings, preservatives and other ingredients.
But some drinks like ginger ale and root beer are often brewed using yeast to cause carbonation.
1.Yeast is a an edible fungi.
2.The carbon dioxide it releases creates bumps when being feed something.
3.Yeast is revived from suspended animation when mixed with water
4.Yeast is very tiny 10 to 20 yeast cells could fit on the end of a piece of hair!!!
5. yeast releases carbon dioxide when it consumes sugar.
6. yeast reproduces by budding.
(I'm doing a science project on this stuff) the best heat to make yeast rise is 37o
How does yeast effect the growth of the balloon?
Conservation of mass and energy.
You put in a certain amount of one or more reactants and if there is a chemical change, the new substance(s) will have net same mass-- Whether or not you can see it. Using the balloon is a good example to demonstrate conservation of mass and energy, because the balloon captures the gas given off of the chemical reaction between the two starting reactants.
