Definition: In baking, fermentation refers to the process of yeast feeding on sugars and starches present in yeast dough. As the yeast feeds, it produces carbon dioxide, which makes the dough rise. This process is also what develops the distinctive flavor of yeast breads.
Tips for Fermentation: The speed of fermentation depends heavily on temperature. Cooler temperatures will slow down the fermentation process, while warmer temperatures will speed it up.
