Yeast is a single-celled fungus that consumes the sugars in dough and produces carbon dioxide, causing bread to rise. It comes in fresh, dry, and instant forms. It activates in a warm environment; water that is too hot can kill its activity.
Where It's Used
“Foam the yeast in warm water with sugar and add it to the liquid in the bread dough.”
