One Is the formation OF carbonic acid
gas. A great deal Of this gas Is caught
In the dough In the form Of large or
small bubbles. and some Of It escapes
into the air. The part that cannot es-

makes the bread light. The holes In
bread are the little pockets which held

the bubbles Is to lift the body Of dough
