Kneading: Make sure to knead the dough well. This helps develop gluten, which gives the bread its structure and chewiness. Aim for about 8-10 minutes of kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic.
First Rise: Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free environment. Cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out. A good rise time is about 1 to 2 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Second Rise: After shaping your bread, let it rise again for about 30-60 minutes. This step is crucial for achieving a light texture.
Oven Temperature: Preheat your oven properly. A hot oven (around 375°F to 400°F) is essential for a good rise while baking, which contributes to the fluffy texture.
Steam: To create a crusty exterior, place a pan of water in the oven while baking. The steam helps the bread rise and creates a nice crust.
Cooling: After baking, let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. This helps maintain its texture and prevents it from becoming gummy.
Flavor: Experiment with adding ingredients like honey, olive oil, or yogurt to the dough for additional flavor and moisture.
