Chapattis made from wheat only swell up but bread becomes spongy, soft and easy to digest. Why is it so?

Answer»
  • The chapatti dough has water, which on heating converts into steam and tries to escape.
  • While doing so, it lifts up the upper layer of the chapatti. Therefore, the chapatti swells up.
  • Bread is made by adding yeast to the flour.
  • In the process of obtaining nutrition, the yeast cells convert the carbohydrates into alcohol and carbon dioxide.
  • When this dough is baked, the carbon dioxide escapes out making the bread spongy, soft and easy to digest.
