Tips
When it comes to baking, it’s best to do it by weight measurement. This means the flour will be measured more accurately and your bread will more likely be a success.
If you prefer the bread to have a chewy texture, use bread flour.
The dough will be sticky, so oil your hands to prevent it from sticking.
