Bread
Description
It will be perfect with tea and coffee. The bread‑making process is interesting and engaging. There is no room for haste here. A neat and attentive approach to the recipe will reward you with a beautiful and proper slice of bread. Do not reduce the dough’s proofing time and maintain the correct temperature regime. If the baking is done with convection, the time should be reduced by about 5 minutes. Bake it and you will want to repeat the recipe many times. The bake is ready. Serve at the table.
