The Science of Yeast: How Bread Actually Rises


---

📝 Description:

Ever wondered how soft, fluffy bread is made? The secret lies in yeast fermentation! 🍞✨
Yeast is a living microorganism that feeds on sugar and produces carbon dioxide (CO₂) and ethanol. These gases create tiny air pockets inside the dough, making it rise and giving bread its light, airy texture.

🔬 Three Key Stages:

1️⃣ Activation:
Yeast wakes up when mixed with warm water and sugar. Fermentation begins as bubbles start to form.

2️⃣ Dough Proofing:
Active yeast consumes sugars in the dough and releases CO₂, causing the dough to expand and become fluffy.

3️⃣ Baking:
Heat kills the yeast, CO₂ pockets expand, alcohol evaporates, and the bread gets its final texture and flavor.

This simple biochemical process turns basic ingredients into delicious, aromatic bread! 🥖🔥
