The cooking process explained
This bread-making journey starts with a simple yeast activation, followed by mixing ingredients and layering flavors. You’ll knead the dough till it’s beautifully smooth, allowing it to rise twice—a critical step for that perfect fluffiness. Finally, you’ll shape it, let it rise one more time, and bake it until golden brown. What could be easier?
