yeast bread

Fermented flour product

Yeast bread is bread leavened with yeast rather than baking powder, baking soda, or other chemical agents.

The yeast ferments sugars in the dough, producing carbon dioxide that makes the bread rise.

Most loaf breads, baguettes, and rolls are yeast breads, distinguished from quick breads like biscuits and muffins.
