Recipe FAQ

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 give the bread a slightly chewier texture.

Can I freeze the bread?

Yes, you can freeze the bread. Let it cool completely, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and then in aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to use, thaw at room temperature.

Can I add raisins or nuts to the bread?

Yes, you can add raisins, nuts, or chocolate chips to the bread. Fold them into the dough after the first rise.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure the butter is melted and cooled before adding it to the dough.
  • Do not skip the second rise as it is important for the bread to become light and airy.
  • You can use a bread knife or a serrated knife to slice the bread.
  • Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
