Question

How does the bread become spongy?

Answer 1

1. When the dough for bread is prepared, the baker’s yeast-Saccharomyces cerevisiae is added to it.
2. This yeast carries out anaerobic fermentation
3. This results in the formation of CO₂ and ethanol.
4. The CO₂ formed tries to escape from the flour, causing the dough to rise. When such dough is baked, it produces spongy bread.
