Probably so, ex! Probably so...

Thanks!

Farting and releasing are similar but I would not classify the bread as a farter,more of a releaser of air :)

So, which end of the yeast is the gas released from, please?

Thanks!

When you knead it ,it will fart.
OR when you need it it will give you air :) WRONG!

I was totally wrong,I rethought this and when the bread is rising it is farting in the essence of farting being making air.

That's pretty prolific and philosophic, artlady!

Would you mind explaining that in a way that my limited mind can understand?

Ain't much happenin' "upstairs" in me! Half the time, lights are on and nobody's home. Plus, my keepers only let me out at night. That's part of the reason that I'm on here so late at night.

Thanks!

Ahh so when dough someone over proves dough you tap it and it shrinks it is actually farting lol awesome!
