Tips:

  • Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature. This will help the dough rise more evenly and result in a lighter, fluffier loaf of bread.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can toughen the bread.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place. This will help it rise quickly and evenly.
  • Bake the bread until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped. This will ensure that it is cooked through.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help it keep its shape and texture.
