Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can I use instant yeast instead of dry yeast?
Yes, you can use instant yeast. If using instant yeast, you can skip the activation step and mix it directly with the dry ingredients.
How do I know if my yeast is still active?
To check if your yeast is active, mix it with warm water and a pinch of sugar. If it becomes foamy and bubbly within 5-10 minutes, it’s active. If not, it may be expired, and you should use a fresh batch.
Can I make this bread gluten-free?
Yes, but you will need to use a gluten-free flour blend that is suitable for baking bread. Gluten-free doughs often need different handling and rising times, so adjust accordingly.
How can I make the crust softer?
To make the crust softer, brush the top of the bread with melted butter or cover it with a clean, damp cloth immediately after baking.
Can I add extra ingredients like seeds, nuts, or herbs?
Absolutely! Feel free to add seeds, nuts, or herbs to the dough during mixing for added flavor and texture.
