Leavening Agents There are two main types of Leavening
Agents used in baking. Yeast & Chemicals.
Yeast is a microorganism that feeds on sugars, creates gas, and pushes out on the surrounding dough to make it rise.
Chemical leavening agents do the same thing with a chemical reaction. The basic reaction is
ACID + BASE = A GAS (CO2)

Examples of Acids & Bases

The Acid and Base react to create bubbles in the dough!
The experiment that we are going to do on Wednesday is designed to show you how various leavening agents work in the baking process.
Follow the directions on the lab, using the appropriate leavening agent assigned to your kitchen group.
When done arrange on a plate leaving one whole, one cut in half and the others cut into bite sized pieces for the class to evaluate. Make sure there are enough for each person to try. Please do not take more than one!
