Successful Execution Tips
- You can knead the dough using a machine to reduce kneading time.
- During fermentation, depending on whether the room temperature is cold or hot, the fermentation time may vary, faster or longer; you can tell it’s ready when the dough has doubled in size.
- Do not substitute yeast with baking powder or baking soda.
- Do not add salt directly to the yeast as it will kill the yeast.
- You can store the bread for 2 days in the refrigerator and 7 days in the freezer; just reheat it when you want to eat.
