FAQs
1. Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can use whole wheat flour, but it may result in a denser loaf. You might want to mix it with all-purpose flour for lighter bread.
2. How can I tell when the bread is done baking?
The bread should be golden brown on the outside, and when you tap it lightly, it will sound hollow. You can also use a thermometer to check if the internal temperature is around 190°F (88°C).
3. Can I double the recipe?
Absolutely! Just be sure to use a larger mixing bowl and adjust your baking time if needed. Make sure both loaves have enough space to rise during baking!
