Recipes FAQ

Can I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast?

Yes, you can use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast. However, since instant yeast is more potent, you will need to use slightly less (around 2 teaspoons instead of 2 1/4 teaspoons).

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

Yes, you can use bread flour instead of all-purpose flour. Bread flour has a higher protein content, which will result in a slightly chewier texture.

Can I make this recipe without a stand mixer?

Yes, you can make this recipe without a stand mixer. Simply mix the ingredients together in a bowl and knead by hand for 10-12 minutes on a flour-dusted surface.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure the water is between 110-115°F. If it is too hot, it will kill the yeast. If it is too cold, it will not activate the yeast.
  • Make sure the dough has doubled in size before shaping it into a loaf. This will ensure that the bread rises properly in the oven.
  • Letting the bread cool for 10 minutes before slicing will prevent it from becoming too dense.
