Recipes FAQ

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure the water is warm, but not too hot, as this can kill the yeast.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a little more water.
  • For best results, use a kitchen scale to measure the flour and water.
  • Letting the bread cool completely before slicing will make it easier to cut and prevent it from becoming too dense.
