Yeast and Baking Powder

Both baking powder and yeast help give baked goods that rise — but the process by which they do so is different.

On the other hand, yeast feeds on the sugars in the flour, release carbon dioxide in the process, which then causes the food to rise. Both processes release carbon dioxide to lighten the dough but yeast is much slower and leaves a distinct flavor and smell.
