Yeast is a leavening agent. In other words it may be called raising agent i.e it is used to raise the dough to make it light soft and porous. Yeast reproduces rapidly and produce carbon dioxide that fill dough which make it porous and increases its volume. This is actually called raising of dough. Yeast is available as a powdered form and adds flavour and aroma to the baked product
