Explain how the addition of yeast to bread dough contributes to the physical properties of bread
What is Yeast lowers the density of the dough/bread; yeast ferments sugar to carbon dioxide which aerates/produces small gas bubbles in the dough; the dough/gas expands during heating; cooking denatures the gluten so becomes inelastic/retains deformed shape/aerated/ leavened bread;
