  • Yeast: The Single-Celled Organism Behind Bread Making Enzymes
    The single-celled organism that makes enzymes for bread making is yeast.

    Yeast is a type of fungus that contains enzymes called amylases and proteases. These enzymes break down the starches and proteins in flour, converting them into sugars that yeast can then ferment. This fermentation process releases carbon dioxide gas, which causes the bread dough to rise.
