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.
Why cant self-rising flour not recommended for yeast bread?
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!
