Recipes FAQ

Can I use active dry yeast instead of instant yeast?

Yes, but you will need to activate the yeast in warm water before adding it to the flour mixture.

Can I make this bread without a bread pan?

Yes, you can shape the dough into a round loaf and bake it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

How should I store the bread?

Store the bread in an airtight container or plastic bag at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the bread in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months.

Recipe Tips

  • Use a thermometer to ensure that the water is at the correct temperature for activating the yeast.
  • Knead the dough well to develop the gluten and create a light, fluffy bread.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place, such as an oven with the light on, to encourage the yeast to activate and the dough to rise.
  • Brush the top of the bread with melted butter or olive oil before baking for a golden, shiny crust.
