Most bread today is leavened with yeast, baking powder or baking soda. The credit for
making the first leavened bread as well as building the first oven is given to the Egyptians.
Leavening makes a hard, flat loaf soft, light and filled with air.
It is believed that pores from the yeast plants, floating in the air, may have settled on some of the baker’s dough. The yeast
fed on the sugars in the mixture and grew. They could not escape from the thick dough, so
the multiplying cells expanded the mass into a larger, lighter and more porous substance.
Yeast is actually a tiny organism which feeds off the sugars in the grain, and emits carbon
dioxide. The growth of the yeast produces gas bubbles, which leaven the bread.
