  1. In the kids' book by Richard Scarry, "What Do People Do All Day?",
    there's a funny bit about a mouse baker who puts in too much yeast. His
    tiny loaves turn into six-foot loaves. Last line: "Mmmmmm! But it DOES
    taste good!"

    However, two people I know (neither is a cook) claims it would NOT
    taste good. Alcoholic, maybe. Does anyone know?

    Howdy,

    Indeed, alcohol is produced by the fermentation of the
    loaves (the rising), but...

    Most of it goes off as vapor during the bake.

    What little might remain is gone a few minutes after the
    bread comes out of the oven.

    All the best,

    It would have yeasty flavor.
