What is "yeast"?
Yeast is a type of fungus commonly used in food preparation, especially in baking. It serves as a leavening agent, aiding in the fermentation process by converting sugar into carbon dioxide, which causes the dough to rise. Yeast adds a distinct flavor and aroma to bread, pastries, and other baked goods. It plays a crucial role in creating light, airy textures and contributing to the overall taste and structure of the final product.
Example
Adding a teaspoon of yeast to the pizza dough will help it rise and become fluffy.
Aggiungere un cucchiaino di lievito all'impasto della pizza aiuterà a farlo lievitare e diventare soffice.
I need to activate the yeast by dissolving it in warm water before adding it to the bread dough.
Devo attivare il lievito dissolvendolo in acqua calda prima di aggiungerlo all'impasto del pane.
