Critical Success Points

  • Add wet ingredients at correct temperature to avoid killing yeast.
  • Knead dough sufficiently for gluten development.
  • Do not over-proof during final rise; dough should be just 1 inch above pan.
  • Tent loaf with foil halfway through baking to prevent over-browning.

Safety Warnings

  • Milk should be warm, not hot, to avoid burns and killing yeast.
  • Use caution when removing hot bread and pan from oven.
  • Be careful when tenting with foil to avoid steam burns.
