How do you get rid of the alcohol smell from yeast when baking?
Whenever my mom bakes with yeast, her breads always come out with a really strong alcohol smell which we have no idea how to reduce or get rid of. Since we're not crazy about bread that smells like beer, how can we reduce or get rid of the smell.

Edit: There used to be a bakery down the street from me and the baking bread always smelled delicious. My mom's doesn't smell like the bread that you get in the bakery.
It actually does smell like beer.
We use Fleishmans active dry yeast (in the jar)

>"bread that smells like beer"
Actually, beer smells like bread. It's just a function of how beer is made. It's been called "liquid bread" and is made from some of the same ingredients. The people who made the beer are often the same people who grew the grain. It's a great way to convert extra grain into a form that can be preserved for a long time. Sort of similar to the milk-cheese relationship.
You can try adding some aromatic elements to your bread. A bit of zest, cinnamon, cloves, rosemary, sage, garlic, jalapeno, etc.
Also, you can try adding a oven-safe bowl with a few tables spoons of baking soda. I have not tried it, but it might work.

If they made a candle in that scent, I'd buy it! I love the smell of bread rising and baking!
How about burning a candle? Or using less yeast? Or more salt? Or rising for less time?

the smell is fermentation. it's a natural part of yeast rising and beer uses yeast too.
