Tips:

  • To make the smoothest dough, use a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook.
  • If you don't have a stand mixer, you can knead the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it for at least 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place for at least an hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  • To check if the dough has risen enough, gently poke it with your finger. If the indentation springs back, the dough is ready.
  • When baking the bread, be sure to preheat the oven to the correct temperature. This will help the bread to rise properly.
  • Bake the bread for the amount of time specified in the recipe. Overbaking will make the bread dry and crumbly.
  • Once the bread is baked, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
