- For best results, ensure the yeast is fresh and active.
- If the dough is too sticky while kneading, add a little flour at a time, but avoid over-flouring.
- Covering the bread with a lid during baking gives a softer crust, but this step is optional.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing to avoid a gummy texture.
