What ingredient is put in bread to make it rise?

Correct option is C

The correct answer is: (c) Yeast

Explanation:

• Yeast is a microorganism that is used in baking to make dough rise. It ferments the sugars in the dough, releasing carbon dioxide, which causes the dough to expand and rise, giving the bread its light and fluffy texture.

• Tomato ketchup and cheese are not used to make bread rise.

• Wheat is the main flour ingredient in bread but does not cause the bread to rise by itself.

Information Booster:

• Yeast is available in two forms: active dry yeast and instant yeast.

• The process of fermentation in bread-making not only makes the bread rise but also contributes to its flavor.

• Other leavening agents: While yeast is the most common, bread can also rise using baking soda or baking powder (typically in quick breads).
