Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the bread will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
Proof the yeast correctly: This is an important step that helps the yeast to activate and grow. Make sure to proof the yeast in warm water (105-115°F) for the specified amount of time.
Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough helps to develop the gluten, which gives the bread its structure and texture. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the dough to double in size. Make sure to cover the dough so that it does not dry out.
Bake the bread at a high temperature: This will create a crispy crust. The ideal temperature for baking bread is 450°F.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from tearing.
