Tips

  • Use a mixer if you prefer, or knead by hand, though it is not necessary.
  • The dough is sticky, so keep your hands floured when handling.
  • Freeze the bread in an airtight zip lock bag as soon as it cools.
  • To defrost, take out what you need and keep it airtight to maintain freshness.
  • Store at room temperature in an airtight container for 2-3 days once cooled.
