Notes
Substitutions:
Use all-purpose or bread flour, but note that bread flour might require additional water if the dough is too dry.
Variations:
Shape the dough into a round loaf on a baking sheet or use a bread loaf pan for a different presentation.
Storage:
Store homemade bread in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days or freeze it for up to 3 months. Avoid refrigerating it to prevent drying.
