Oscar Morrow · Answer 1

The answer is as an endothermic process because the dough absorbs heat. The heat then results to a chemical process of the baking powder that produces carbon dioxide from the present bircabonate. This results to carbon dioxide pockets/spaces in the dough hence the dough rises and become larger air spaces (leavening) even as the gases expand due to heating. This is also the principle behind baking powder in making of bread.
