Cool:
· Remove bread from pan immediately and transfer to a wire rack.
· Let cool completely (at least 2 hours) before slicing to prevent a gummy texture.
Key Tips for Success
· Accurate water temperature is crucial—too hot will kill the yeast, too cold will slow fermentation.
· Don’t rush the rises—proper fermentation develops flavor and texture.
· Use a scale for the most consistent results.
· Cool completely before slicing to maintain structure.
