Origin
Yeast is a microorganism that has been used in baking and brewing for thousands of years. The use of yeast in food preparation dates back to ancient Egypt, where it was used to leaven bread. The process of using yeast to ferment dough or liquid is known as fermentation. Yeast is typically derived from a species of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, also known as baker's yeast. It is a single-celled fungus that metabolizes sugar and produces carbon dioxide and alcohol as byproducts. Yeast is cultivated and grown in controlled environments to ensure its purity and effectiveness. The yeast mixture used in cooking and baking is typically a combination of active dry yeast or instant yeast, along with other ingredients such as sugar and water, to activate and feed the yeast before adding it to the recipe.
