Brewer's Yeast

Definition:

Brewer's yeast, also known as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, is a type of yeast that is commonly used in the brewing and baking industries. It is a single-celled fungus that ferments sugars to produce alcohol and carbon dioxide.

Senses:

1. Brewing:

In the context of brewing, brewer's yeast refers to the specific strain of yeast used to ferment the sugars in malted grains, resulting in the production of alcohol and carbon dioxide, key elements in the brewing process.

2. Baking:

In baking, brewer's yeast is a leavening agent used to make bread dough rise. It reacts with the sugars present in the dough to produce carbon dioxide, which creates air pockets, making the bread light and fluffy.

2. The recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of brewer's yeast to make the dough rise properly.
