FAQ

Q: Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose?
A: Yes, but replace only half with whole wheat to keep the bread soft and fluffy.

Q: Do I need a stand mixer to knead the dough?
A: No, you can knead by hand—it just takes a bit of effort and about 10 minutes.

Q: Can I bake this bread instead of pan-cooking?
A: Absolutely! Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15–18 minutes until golden.
