Why is gluten important in pastry making?

Yeast is important in bread making as yeast is the reactant with heat in the oven that makes it rise. It also releases Carbon Dioxide (CO2) which gives you the tiny holes in the bread. The yeast cells in bread dough ferment sugars and

produce gas (carbon dioxide). This will make the dough

rise. If there is not enough yeast, the dough will not

rise sufficiently and become less fluffy after baking.

Without yeast you get unleavened bread. With too much

yeast the dough becomes very light, and in the oven

will collapse. in both cases the bread is still

completely safe to eat. The amount of yeast per bread

is very much a matter of taste and varies from country

to country.
