Tips for the Fluffiest Bread
- Warm, Not Hot Liquids– Yeast needs warmth to activate but can be killed if the water or milk is too hot. Aim for around 100–110°F (37–43°C).
- Use Fresh Yeast– Expired or inactive yeast will prevent your bread from rising properly.
- Knead Well– Kneading develops gluten, which gives bread structure and allows it to hold air pockets.
- Don’t Rush the Rise– Let the dough rise fully until doubled. Patience pays off.
