Recipes FAQ

Can I use all-purpose flour instead of bread flour?

You can, but the bread may not rise as well and the texture may be slightly different.

Can I use dried basil and sun-dried tomatoes instead of fresh?

You can, but the flavor won't be as intense. If using dried ingredients, reduce the amounts by half.

Can I freeze this bread?

Yes, this bread freezes well. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil before freezing. Thaw at room temperature before slicing and serving.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature before adding them to the bread machine.
  • If the dough seems too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it comes together.
  • If the dough seems too wet, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it's smooth and elastic.
  • Don't skip the kneading step, as this helps develop the gluten in the dough and gives the bread its structure.
  • For a crispier crust, brush the top of the bread with melted butter before baking.
