- Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make the bread tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined, then knead the dough for a few minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough should rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1-2 hours.
