lightbulb_outline Tips
- For a softer crust, brush the bread with melted butter immediately after removing it from the oven.
- Feel free to customize your bread by adding herbs or spices to the dough.
- To store the bread, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in a resealable bag. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
- If you prefer a whole wheat version, you can substitute half of the bread flour with whole wheat flour.
