Answer is: because carbon (IV) oxide is released.

For example if baking soda is used for the pizza dough, than on heat carbon (IV) oxide is product of chemical reaction:

2NaHCO ₃ → Na₂CO₃ + CO₂ + H₂O.

If we use yeast (single-celled microorganism), also carbon (IV) oxide produced, because yeast turns sugars into carbon (IV) oxide.
