Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Proof the yeast until it is foamy and bubbly. This will ensure that the bread rises properly.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help develop the gluten and give the bread a chewy texture.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to work and produce carbon dioxide, which will cause the bread to rise.
  • Bake the bread at a high temperature so that it develops a golden brown crust.
  • Let the bread cool slightly before slicing and serving.
