Tips:

  • To ensure even cooking, use a baking dish or loaf pan that is the right size for the amount of dough you have. The dough should fill the pan about 2/3 full.

  • To make sure the bread is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of the loaf. If it comes out clean, the bread is done.
