Bread
- What’s happening
inside the bread?
- The dough is kneaded to give the bread its
texture. The protein in the flour is stretched
to make an elastic dough and pockets of gas
are formed.
- Whilst the dough is proving, bubbles of carbon
dioxide gas are formed from the yeast action. These
help to stretch the dough and make it rise.
- In the oven the gas bubbles (carbon
dioxide and air) expand with the heat.
This makes the bread rise further.
- Eventually the heat sets the loaf giving it
a well-risen structure and a light and
spongy texture.
- What yeast needs to work
- Warmth is needed so that the
yeast cells can grow and
multiply.
- The yeast needs
feeding to grow- food
- Time for yeast to do its work
and to produce carbon dioxide
gas which raises the dough
- moisture to grow
- What are yeasts
- Yeasts are single celled
micro-organisms. They are found in the
air and on the skin of fruits. Yeasts
grow only on sugary foods.
- yeast is available in fresh,
quick-acting, or dried form.
- Fermentation
- During this process, the enzymes in the yeast
cells obtain energy by converting sugars to
alcohol and carbon dioxide.
