FAQ

Q: Can I use water instead of milk?
A: Yes, but milk gives a richer flavor and softer crumb.

Q: How do I get a super-crusty top?
A: Bake with a small oven-safe dish of water in the oven to create steam, which enhances crustiness.

Q: Can I freeze this bread?
A: Yes, once cooled, wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven before serving.
