yeast
Makes dough rise
Yeast is a microscopic fungus that ferments sugars, producing carbon dioxide and alcohol.
This makes it essential for baking bread (where the gas creates rise) and brewing beer and wine (where the alcohol is the point).
Yeast also appears as a dietary supplement.
Figuratively, yeast is anything that causes ferment or activity: the yeast of revolution.
