Answer: Yeast

Yeast metabolism produces carbon dioxide bubbles that cause bread to rise. Other breads are leavened with chemical reactions that produce carbon dioxide, such as that between baking soda and sour milk.
2. Unleavened breads are popular in many cultures. What is the Mexican version, used in many different dishes?

Answer: Tortilla

The prices of tortillas are regulated in Mexico, so that everyone can afford them.
