Is alcohol in bread and drinks like coke halal according to Islamic teachings?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftisays.com
Recently i heard there is a percentage of alcohol in bread, with the knowledge it does not intoxicate you i assume it is halal.
Though alcohol is in drinks such as coke, would TAQWA advice us to refrain from it?

Please do advise me through the shariate and the teachings of OUR beloved prophet Muhammad SAW.

Assalamu alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

Alcohol is produced as a ‘bi-product of the fermentation process of yeast’, however this is unavoidable and is part of the process of baking bread. Further, the alcohol is trace (very difficult to detect) and dissipates in the process hence Halaal.
