How Yeast Works in Bread

[@FamilyFax]

I've baked bread many times, but never knew why I kneaded the dough. What a great visual story. My kids and I enjoyed learning how yeast works and you went beyond! Thanks!

[@susannaz6134]

So glad you and the kids enjoyed it Elaine! :D

[@PrinceCharmingNY]

I Agree .

[@tarnishedknight730]

I too have baked with yeast, and I knew that the yeast produces co2, and the co2 makes the dough rise and makes it fluffy. I did know about the gluten holding it together, but I did not understand why. I knew that I had to knead the dough but, again, did not understand why. With this new understanding, I'm sure that I will be able to notice, and correct, problems in the future. Thanks a ton.

Wow, thank you for that powerful demonstration of yeast! I had no idea he is a living organism. I am so glad I found this video.

This was great for a basic visual explanation of the chemical processes inside a loaf of bread for my homeschooled kiddo's. Thanks!!

This is the best video explaining how yeast works I found! It was very helpful seeing the visual of how gluten locks in the CO2

[@alisavictory2602]

Thanks so much! I wanted to know how yeast works on bread and it helped me alot! It gave a lot of details and I was so happy this video gave me a better understanding. Thank you for your conscientious effort of your incredible baking!

[@rybb551]

A great video that I am going to show my grandchildren who are learning to make bread. Make more videos- you are a talented story teller

[@nikhilmiller2668]

Thank you so much, this is so helpful and I now understand this after browsing the web for 3 hours thank you

[@hazeloveu]

My sons and I were talking about the Israelite Exodus and why we celebrate the Passover, and my son asked me why they had to eat bread without yeast. I told him it takes time for the bread to rise when we use yeast and of course he wanted to know why, why, and more why lol. This was a wonderful video with excellent visuals and very interesting to watch, even for my 3 year old. I’d love to see more videos like this!

[@zxl1378]

I get to learn many things from you just in one video..... Just brilliant! How yeast works, why kneaded is important, why the dough rises, what gluten is, how bread is made, and the wonderful presentation. Thank you very much!!!! OH AND THE CIRCLES!!!!

[@LeahMacVie]

This is the best video, ever. What is yeast? why is it alive? What does it do? Do you need it? I can't say that I haven't tried to do my research. I've watched Michael Pollan's "Cooked" three times. I've watched Sean Brock explain it on A Mind of a Chef. I've even gone to a live bread-making cooking class. I watching this KZbin video, and now I understand! Thank you!

[@kauaithespider6360]

Honestly this is Quite a Smart way to teach kids how yeast works.

[@TheMarylEffect]

Thank you very much for a quick informative video!! I have little bakers that are helping me with our very first homemade cinnamon roll recipe and we are using this as a science lesson too! It’s important to know the how’s and why’s behind what we do, so that when/if it fails we know how to fix it for next time!! This is perfect for my 5 & 6th grade boys!! Short, informative, to the point and not waaaaayyyyyyy too juvenile!! Keep up the good work!!

[@TheNutbrittle]

Very good informational video! So why do recipes for gluten-free bread call for yeast?

[@susannaz6134]

thanks! I didn't initially know the answer to your question but I did some digging. Here's what I learned: Yeast will still cause dough to rise even if it's made from gluten free ingredients. It's a slower process and it will not be as "fluffy" but it's still effective.

[@EDUARDO12348]

[@MaxMercerPiano]

I love your video, it is so creative! I am left with a question at the 4 minute mark, why is it important that the CO2 be trapped by the gluten? Is all the CO2 (plus the CO2 that is created by the gluten during the rising process) the reason why the dough rises? Thank you for your time!

[@superfood2010]

this is great, thank you!

[@joshuabual9324]

Instructions unclear The Yeast ended up turning into big monsters and is roaming around in search of sugar

[@EowynG191]

This was super cute ♡

[@robertoconconi]

Great video, I thought I wouldn't learn anything, but hey I learnt about gluten. I already knew about the reaction that takes place with yeast and sugar, it is called the krebs cycle, it reduces sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide to produce energy. Do you happen to know where can I find info on how much sugar does a gram of yeast can consume and in what time?

[@emmaetheridge8657]

Great video!!!

[@SprinklesFairy]

hi, is there a standard formula on how much yeast you'll use per cup of flour? especially for no-knead doughs that needs to slowly rise for many hours? thanks

[@susannaz6134]

for the recipe I'm using in the video, I use one packet (which contains a little over 2 teaspoons) of yeast and about 5-6 cups of flour. A few recipes I've seen for no-knead bread call for between 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of yeast and 2-3 cups of flour.

[@SprinklesFairy]

i see, thanks so much

[@christinenjeruaqua]

what do I do to neutralize the fermented smell of yeast that is a constant in my homemade breads?

[@susannaz6134]

+christine njeru hey Christine! what yeast (brand) are you using, how much, and what type of bread are you making? I've never experienced this problem before but maybe we can figure this out together!

I remember in 4th grade, we made friendship bread, and we named the dough yeasty. When our teacher bakes the bread, we were all heartbroken. I even invited my friends to have a funeral for Yeasty. Yeasty DID have extra dough, and we called it, “Yeasty’s children.” I remember burying Yeasty ;-; R.I.P YEASTY
