Yeast makes bread rise by interacting with sugars in flour to produce carbon dioxide bubbles, though the process requires kneading, heat and time for the leavening (rising) to begin before baking. Yeast breads also take longer to bake usually; however, the yeast adds considerable flavor and nutrition to the bread. Baking powder contains both an acid (cream of tartar) and a base (sodium bicarbonate) that interact with each other with the introduction of water, creating carbon dioxide bubbles that make bread rise.

Combine the dry ingredients, all-purpose flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder and salt, in the large bowl and blend with a wooden spoon until thoroughly mixed.
