01
To ensure a good lift and a beautiful outer crust, you’ll want to start with fresh yeast and baking powder/soda
02
Always store your baking ingredients in a dry place at room temperature. Never refrigerate.
03
Get good bread flour. It’s ground specifically for making bread!
04
Make sure your liquid is between 95 degrees F and 115 degrees F when adding to yeast.
05
Kneading is key. This step makes the bread chewy by developing gluten. Make sure your dough is kneaded well for that traditional Italian bread’s perfection.
06
Follow the prescribed rising time. Use a timer. Too long and you might have a sour-tasting loaf or a dry bread with abundance of holes!
