Tips:

Activate the yeast properly:Lukewarm water (110-115°F) is ideal for activating the yeast. If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast, and if it is too cold, the yeast will not activate properly.
Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic: This will help to develop the gluten in the dough, which will give the bread a chewy texture.
Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size: This will allow the yeast to ferment and produce carbon dioxide, which will create air pockets in the bread.
Bake the bread in a preheated oven: This will help to create a crispy crust and a fluffy interior.
Brush the bread with butter or olive oil after baking: This will help to keep the bread moist and prevent it from drying out.
