Recipe Tips

  • Make sure the water you use to activate the yeast is warm, but not too hot. If the water is too hot, it will kill the yeast and the bread won't rise properly.
  • Kneading the dough is important because it helps to develop the gluten, which gives the bread its structure and texture.
  • Letting the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place is important because it helps the yeast to activate and the bread to rise properly.
  • Brushing the top of the dough with olive oil before baking will help it to brown evenly and give it a nice crust.
