nothing lol
it shudnt be nothing lol because that isn't a very acurate answer the answer is because it give it a taste that people like!
That Nothing Lol Was The Answer off some 1 else.
************************************
Bread making uses flour ( the gluten in which makes the dough springy and stretchy ) , water ( to bind the mixture ), sugar and yeast - which is a living thing ( a fungi ). The sugar, or glucose, provides the energy for RESPIRATION.
Glucose + Oxygen -> Yeast -> Carbon Dioxide + Water
The yeast respires, leaving gas bubbles of Carbon Dioxide in the bread, which is what makes it rise, and the sugar ( as well as providing a tiny bit of flavour ) gives it the energy to do so.
Aside from adding flavor to certain kinds of bread, sugar is used as a food source for the yeast. Yeast ferment sugar and create carbon dioxide (among other things) which makes the bread rise. Well actually, i think that the sugar makes the bread is to bring out that rich sugary sweet flavor in the bread. In some cases it helps bring out the cranberry flavor in some white breads and the chocolate flavor in the wheat breads.
to feed the yeast
A small amount of sugar can be added to bread mix to feed the yeast.
Starch is a carbohydrate and it breaks down into sugar after ingestion. Sugar gives us that get up and go!
Bread CONTAINS sugar but not that much, although bread is rich in carbohydrates and sugar is a carb
Nothing, it is not used as a preservative in bread. to preserve bread is preservative not the sugar.
Sugar is often used in mixtures to add sweetness and flavor. It can also help with browning, moisture retention, and tenderizing in baked goods. Additionally, sugar plays a role in the fermentation process in bread making.
Bread
Sugar free bread tends to rot the fastest. Molecularly speaking, the sugar acts as a preservative in breads and baked goods. The actual pH and moisture content of the bread is altered. That is why sugar free or sugar substitute bread has a shorter shelf life.
The short answer is: Sugar. It's the sugar in bread that allows it to brown well. Depending on the quantity of sugar in the recipe, bread will brown at different rates.
The sugar is for the yeast to feed on.
Soften bread innit butt
it makes the bread rise.
