- Ensure that the water you use is lukewarm (about 110°F or 45°C) to help activate the yeast effectively.
- For a crispier crust, place a shallow pan of water on the bottom rack of the oven while baking the bread. The steam will help create a beautiful crust.
- Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free area. You can preheat your oven to the lowest setting for a few minutes, turn it off, and then let the dough rise inside.
- If you don't have a stand mixer, you can knead the dough by hand for 10-15 minutes until it's smooth and elastic.
- Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing to ensure the best texture and flavor.
