Ethanol fermentation causes bread dough to rise. Yeast organisms consume sugars in the dough and produce ethanol and carbon dioxide as waste products. The carbon dioxide forms bubbles in the dough, expanding it to a foam. Less than 2% ethanol remains after baking.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Logan|first1=BK|last2=Distefano|first2=S|title=Ethanol content of various foods and soft drinks and their potential for interference with a breath-alcohol test|journal=Journal of Analytical Toxicology|date=1997|volume=22|issue=3|pages=181–83|pmid=9602932|doi=10.1093/jat/22.3.181|doi-access=}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|title=The Alcohol Content of Bread|journal=Canadian Medical Association Journal|date=November 1926|volume=16|issue=11|pages=1394–95|pmid=20316063|pmc=1709087}}</ref> |
