Question

Fungi have been used for thousands of years to modify foods and beverages. Bread made without yeast fungi is flat. The addition of yeast to flat bread dough causes the dough to rise during baking. Yeast uses the process of fermentation to release energy and that process produces carbon dioxide as a by-product. The carbon dioxide is responsible for making the bread dough rise. Based on the data collected, the highest rising bread would use yeast, warm water and the addition of

Answer 1

Sugar as sugar is consumed by yeast which in turn helps it in rising.

Answer 2

Based on the data collected, the highest rising bread would use yeast, warm water and the addition of Glucose or sugar

The yeast in breads break down starch and sugar that are found in flour and other ingredients. As a result of this breakdown, carbon dioxide is released and it makes the bread rise. This takes some time for the yeast to start working so sugar is added in the dough mixture to speed up the action of the yeast.
