The Magic of Yeast: Fermentation and the Art of Bread Making

The video tutorial explains the role of yeast in bread making, highlighting how yeast starts dormant and becomes active with warm water, leading to fermentation. It describes the fermentation process, which produces carbon dioxide and ethanol, causing the dough to rise. The tutorial also covers fermentation's role in creating various foods and identifies mayonnaise as not being a fermented product. Additionally, it discusses the health benefits of fermented foods, such as improved digestion and immune support.
