Someone is making bread and keeps talking about the المحسن she added to it. I know it has something to do with enriching the bread, but I don't know what it is exactly.

Barm
Barm
Barm is the foam, or scum, formed on the top of liquor – fermented alcoholic beverages such as beer or wine,[1] or feedstock for hard liquor or industrial ethanol distillation – when fermenting. It was used to leaven bread, or set up fermentation in a new batch of liquor. Barm, as a leaven, has also been made from ground millet combined with must out of wine-tubs[2] and is sometimes used in English baking as a synonym for a natural leaven.[3] Various cultures derived from barm, usually Saccharomyces cerevisiae, became ancestral to most forms of brewer's yeast and baker's yeast currently on the market.

: خميرة is yeast// أظن أن الخميرة هي هي الخميرة بيرة وإنما هو اختلاف تسمية والله أعلم، خالص تحياتي الحارة من أمام فرن الترجمة :)
