yeast breads

Dough that rises

Yeast breads are baked goods leavened with yeast rather than baking powder or baking soda.

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

This category includes sandwich loaves, baguettes, brioche, and dinner rolls—distinguished from quick breads like muffins and banana bread by requiring time for the dough to rise before baking.
