When bakers mix a special tiny living ingredient into bread dough, the dough puffs up and gets bigger before it's baked.

What ingredient makes bread dough rise?

Yeast
Yeast is a tiny living organism that makes gas bubbles in dough, causing bread to rise and become fluffy.

Yeast is the tiny living ingredient that makes bread dough rise. As it feeds on sugars in the dough, it releases carbon dioxide gas, forming countless tiny bubbles that puff the dough up before baking.

Salt and sugar play different roles in baking: salt controls flavor, and sugar can feed the yeast a little, but neither one is the living organism actually responsible for making the dough expand.

The same kind of yeast used in bread is closely related to the yeast brewers use to make beer, since both are busy turning sugar into gas.
