Explanation:
Baked goods like bread rise because of the presence of yeast as a raising, or leavening, agent. The most common yeast used in breadmaking is Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It feeds on the sugars present in the bread dough, producing the gas carbon dioxide. This forms bubbles within the dough, causing it to expand.
