Yeast breads – consists of 1 rectangular loaf, approx. 4” x 8” x 5”, wrapped in plastic bag. No fork pricks.
Yeast breads use yeast. When activated with warm water and a little sugar, yeast (a small organism) grows and expels carbon dioxide. This gives bread its light, fluffy consistency and the air holes you see when you slice open a loaf. It requires time for the dough to rise and develop flavor. Yeast bread, unlike quick bread, also requires some kneading to help the dough come together and develop gluten. Gluten gives bread the right texture and helps it hold its shape.
