Yeast is a single-celled living creature. It consumes sugar (carbohydrate) and gives off carbon dioxide as the by-product. It's the carbon dioxide gas bubbles that work within the structure of the bread dough to make it rise.

Only thing with this recipe, since Canadian law states ingredients must be listed in order of quantity, and I'm assuming Wa'il that you listed exactly as you read from the label .... it seems there is more sugar than oil, gluten or soy flour .. ... 1 tsp (4 gm) sugar is all that is needed to feed the yeast for one loaf of bread. This sounds like extra sugar has been added for "flavour" too, probably to kill the soy taste.

Plus, their math is way out. If you add up all the calories, still doesn't come out to 40. Something is hidden. The carb count is at LEAST 5.1, any fiber is over and above that amount, not subtracted from it.

protein - 2.1 x 4 = 8.4
fat - 0.4 x 9 = 3.6
carb - 5.1 x 4 = 20.4

adds up to 32.4 calories, so 7.6 calories unaccounted for. ??? It has to be carbohydrate, since protein and fat are actual measurable quantities, only carbohydrate is calculated.
