Proper Kneading

Knead dough until elastic, ensuring proper gluten development for a fluffy and chewy texture.

Consistent Temperature

Maintain a stable environment, as temperature affects yeast activity and dough rising.

Precise Measurements

Use accurate measurements for ingredients to achieve the desired texture and flavor in your bread.

Quality Flour

Choose high-quality flour, as it greatly impacts the structure and taste of your bread.

Adequate Proofing

Allow sufficient time for dough to rise, ensuring a light and airy texture in the final product.
