The gas released by yeast, CO2, creates bubbles, as the bubbles expand in the dough, the bread rises. As the bread bakes, the bubbles set and give the bread its light, airiness.
Yeast is the type of fungus used to make bread rise. Yeast consumes sugars in the dough and produces carbon dioxide gas, which creates the bubbles that cause the bread to rise and become fluffy.
Yeast, a type of fungus, is a common non-flowering plant used in baking bread. Yeast helps to leaven the dough by producing carbon dioxide gas, which causes the bread to rise and have a fluffy texture.
The protein molecule in bread that traps carbon dioxide to help the bread rise is called gluten. Gluten forms a network when mixed with water, which traps the carbon dioxide released by yeast during fermentation. This trapped gas causes the bread to rise and gives it a light and airy texture.
Yeast, a type of fungi, is used in bakeries primarily for its ability to ferment sugars, releasing carbon dioxide gas that causes bread dough to rise. This process creates a light and fluffy texture in baked goods. Yeast also contributes to the flavor and aroma of bread.
