Recipe Tips

- Be sure to use warm water when making the dough, as this will help activate the yeast. - Kneading the dough for 10 minutes may seem like a long time, but it's important to develop the gluten in the dough. - To check if the bread is fully cooked, tap the bottom of the bread tin - if it sounds hollow, the bread is ready.
