Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
Make sure your yeast is active before using it. You can do this by mixing it with a little warm water and sugar and letting it sit for 5-10 minutes. If the mixture bubbles, your yeast is active.
Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour and make the bread light and airy.
Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1-2 hours.
Bake the bread in a preheated oven until it is golden brown and cooked through. This will take about 30-40 minutes.
