We eat bread for breakfast every morning, but do you know why there are holes in it?

We all eat bread in our daily lives, but have you ever wondered why there are holes in bread? Let us know why there are holes in the bread.

You must be eating bread for breakfast in your daily life, but have you ever wondered why there are holes in bread? If not, then let's find out.

Holes are formed on bread during the process of making bread. This process is caused by yeast. Yeast is a micro-organism that eats the sugar present in the flour and releases carbon dioxide gas.

This carbon dioxide gas forms tiny bubbles in the dough. When the dough is baked in the oven, these bubbles expand and form holes in the bread.

Let us tell you that bread contains a protein called gluten. Gluten makes the dough elastic and helps in retaining carbon dioxide gas. When the dough is kneaded, the gluten fibers form a net-like structure.

This mesh traps the carbon dioxide gas and forms bubbles. When the bread is baked, these bubbles expand and form holes in the bread.

Apart from this, the size and number of holes in bread depends on many factors. For example, the higher the amount of yeast, the more holes there will be. Apart from this, the more the dough is kneaded, the stronger the gluten fibers will become and the bigger the holes will be. Also, the temperature and time of baking also affect the size and number of holes.
