Why does bread rise when you add yeast to it?!
Is there a chemical reaction with the yeast or something going on when you bake bread!? please help!. ThanksWww@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
when the yeast is mixed with the water and then kneaded to the bread dough, the yeast will react with the sugar on the dough, the chemical reaction's byproduct is carbon dioxide, which in return makes the dough rise!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yeast is a living organism!. It "eats" through fermentation!. It consumes sugars and produces carbon dioxide!. This creates little bubbles, lightening/leavening the dough!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
yeast is alive!. yeast is a fungus that consumes carbohydrates (the flour) and releases carbon dioxide!. the carbon dioxide gas "inflates" the bread!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Because yeast is alive and begins to eat the sugars and flour when activated and thrown together!. Kind of cool when you think about it!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Yeast releases carbon dioxide into the bread!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
