Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your bread. Look for fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible.
Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the bread tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then stop.
Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will help the dough to develop a good flavor and texture.
Bake the bread at a high temperature. This will help to create a crispy crust.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing. This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
