💡 Pro Tips

To ensure the bread is evenly cooked, rotate it 180 degrees halfway through baking time. To prevent the bread from drying out, cover it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking time. Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
