      It does.

      Look up sourdough recipes. The bacteria and yeasts will eagerly eat some longer-chain carbs. They aren’t picky. Same goes for commercial supermarket yeasts.

      It does. The bread I make is only flour, yeast, water and salt. Toss them together and wait 2 hours you have a risen bread

      You can test for yourself if starches are sugar.

      Grab a spoon of oat flakes, no milk no nothing, but em in your mouth and chew and chew. It’s a fair bit of work, but soon you’ll taste the sweetness.
