FAQ
Q: Can I make this bread without an egg wash?
A: Yes, the egg wash is optional. It adds a shiny finish to the top of the bread but isn't necessary for the texture or flavor of the bread.
Q: What should I do if my dough doesn’t rise?
A: Make sure your yeast is fresh and your water is warm (but not too hot). If the dough isn't rising, it may be because the yeast is inactive, or the temperature is too cold. Try placing the dough in a warmer spot or allowing it more time to rise.
Q: Can I use a bread machine for this recipe?
A: Yes, you can use a bread machine to mix and knead the dough. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for dough settings, and then proceed with the second rise and baking as directed.
