yeast
bred without a yeast or a raising agent
Bread made with a raising agent is called leavened bread or yeast bread.
Levure in French means Yeast ( a raising agent used in bread, etc ).
yes. they're small living things inside of the yeast
I'm not sure what you mean by mechanical, but raising agents like baking soda, baking powder, and yeast make foods light and fluffy.
Actually, it does. It's just in very, very small amounts. There are various types of yeast in the air so some of it lands on the flour. Ages ago, it was the natural yeast in flour or in other bread ingredients that made bread rise. Now days we add the yeast to make the bread rise more predictably.
Self-rising flour (usually) has baking powder mixed into it in a certain ratio. Baking powder is used for rising baking such as cookies, biscuits, cakes, etc. It isn't appropriate for use with yeast because yeast is a raising agent. Baking powder creates gases that bubble and puff up baking by way of a chemical reaction. Yeast is a form of bacteria that eat sugar and excrete CO2, which is a gas, that puffs up baking by way of a biological reaction. If you used self-raising flour with yeast you would have two competing forms of raising agent - and I have no idea what kind of mess you'd find in your oven afterwards!
If you do not use a raising agent when one is required, all that you bake will turn out flat and hard. You can however use raising agents other than baking soda such as beaten egg white or yeast.
it is called unleavened bread or otherwise known as quick bread. It is called unleavened because it does not contain any leavening agent such as yeast. Try to check this out on Jewish bread recipes.
A raising agent, such as baking powder or yeast, releases gas bubbles when mixed with liquids and heated in the oven. These gas bubbles get trapped in the mixture, causing it to expand and rise as the mixture bakes. This process creates a light and airy texture in baked goods like cakes and bread.
someone who takes care of all ingredients! dis is ileanette, ^ the answer above has nothing to do with cooking, a raising agent is something that helps your recipe rise when in the oven, for example :baking powder, self raising flour, eggs, baking soda.. (from the wise mind of me, Sophie perkins)
