Recipe Tips

  • Make sure the water and milk are warm, but not too hot, as it can kill the yeast.
  • Knead the dough until it's smooth and elastic, as this will help develop the gluten and give the bread structure.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for best results.
  • Brush the top of the bread with melted butter before baking to give it a golden brown crust.
