Let the Bread Rest: Allow the bread to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps it set and develop its full flavor.
Store Properly: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Get Creative: Feel free to add your favorite mix-ins, such as nuts, seeds, dried fruit, or spices, to customize the flavor of the bread.
