- Warm Environment – If your kitchen is cold, let the dough rise in the oven with just the oven light on. This creates a warm environment for the dough to proof.
- Flour Amount – Start with 5 1/2 cups of flour and gradually add more if necessary. The dough should be soft and pliable, not stiff.
- Storage – Store the bread in a sealed plastic bag or airtight container to keep it fresh for up to 5 days. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
Customizations
- Sweeter Bread – Increase the sugar to 3/4 cup for a sweeter loaf.
- Herb Loaf – Add 2 tsp of dried herbs (like rosemary or garlic powder) to the dough for a savory twist.
- Richer Flavor – Substitute half of the water with milk and add 1 egg to create a richer, softer loaf.
