bread rising

Yeast doing work

Bread rising is the process by which dough expands and increases in volume, typically through the action of yeast producing carbon dioxide gas.

The rising happens in stages—an initial rise after kneading, then often a second rise after shaping.

Let the dough rest in a warm place until doubled in size.

Proper rising develops flavor and creates the airy texture of good bread.
