Whole Wheat Version
Replace 1–2 cups of bread flour with whole wheat flour. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or honey to keep the crumb soft.
2. Milk-Enriched Bread
Swap ½ cup of water for warm milk for a richer, more tender loaf.
3. Sweet Breakfast Loaf
Add 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to the dough for a subtly sweet, aromatic loaf that’s perfect with butter and jam.
4. Seeded Sourdough
Sprinkle sesame, poppy, or flax seeds on top before baking for texture and nutrition.
