If the dough is too sticky, add a little flour, a spoonful at a time, until it is smooth and elastic.
How can I keep my bread fresh during storage?
Store the bread in a bread box or sealed plastic bag at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, place it in a sealable container or freezer bag and freeze it for up to 3 months.
Is it possible to make the dough in advance?
Yes, you can make the dough in advance and refrigerate it after the first rise. Let it come to room temperature and rise again before shaping and baking.
Why did my bread turn out heavy?
Bread can turn out heavy if the dough is not kneaded properly, is not allowed to rise long enough, or if you use stale yeast. Make sure you mix the dough well until it is smooth and elastic, and allow it to rise long enough.
Can I use a bread machine to bake this bread?
You can use a bread machine by following the manufacturer’s instructions for your model. Add the ingredients in the order suggested by the machine. In general, start with the wet ingredients and then add the dry ingredients.
