Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the bread will be. Fresh, active yeast and high-quality flour will make a big difference in the final product.
  • Follow the recipe carefully: Baking is a science, and it's important to follow the recipe precisely. If you make substitutions or change the measurements, the bread may not turn out as expected.
  • Be patient: Bread takes time to rise and bake. Don't rush the process, or the bread will be dense and undercooked.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the bread tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it: Slicing the bread too soon will make it gummy. Let it cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
