What is leavened bread?

Leavening agents are substances that produce gas in dough or batter, causing it to rise. Yeast, baking powder, and baking soda are the three most common leavening agents.

Leavened bread is bread that has been made with a leavening agent. This causes the dough to rise and become fluffy. Some common types of leavened bread include:

- White bread

- Wheat bread

- Sourdough bread

- Whole wheat bread

- Rye bread

- Pumpernickel bread

- Bagels

- Ciabatta

- Focaccia

- Pizza dough

Leavened bread is often preferred over unleavened bread, which is bread that has not been made with a leavening agent. This is because leavened bread is lighter, fluffier, and more flavorful.
