It is something to do with yeast respiring at a faster rate as the temperature gets warmer. They release more CO2, which makes the bread rise more because more air bubbles are created in the dough. Something like that. The metabolic rate of the yeast increases as the temperature increases.

hey christina i think its bcoz as temperature rises the enzyme in yeast in bread called zymaze speeds up and works more efficiently. so the bread rises as the yeast cells work faster respire quicker giving off carbon dioxide and therefore excess gas in the bread causes it to rise. the enzymes optimum temp is around 40 degrees calvin. chris x

I think you wanted to say 'Kelvin' rather than 'calvin', but the optimum temperature for the enzymes in yeast is around 40 degrees centigrade.
