My 7 year old nephew asked me why bread has holes in it.

He was helping me shape some rolls last weekend. I gave him the usual answer about yeast making gas. He just stared at the dough and said, 'So it's bread farts?' Had to stop everything, I was laughing so hard. Never thought of it that way for my whole career. What's the funniest baking explanation you've ever had to give?

Honestly, is that even a funny explanation? Kids say weird stuff about everything. It's just yeast doing its thing, not some big joke. The whole post feels like making a big deal out of a normal kid comment. It's not that deep.

Just yeast doing its thing" is a wild way to put it!
