Mixing Ingredients
Combining the dry and wet ingredients evenly is essential to achieve a uniform dough. This ensures proper texture and flavor distribution in the final product.
Kneading the Dough
Kneading helps develop gluten, which gives the bread its structure. Use your palms to push the dough away and then fold it back over itself for about 10 minutes.
Resting the Dough
Allowing the dough to rest enables it to rise properly. This step is crucial for achieving a light and airy texture in the final bread.
Baking Technique
Baking at the right temperature ensures even cooking. Preheat your oven and monitor the baking process to achieve a golden brown crust.
