Cooking Tips |
|
*To create a nice, warm
place for your loaves to rise, turn on oven for 60 seconds and
then turn it off. Turn the oven light on too. The temperature
should be just about right for your loaves to rise nicely.
(don't forget to turn off the oven!) |
|
*If you do not plan to
consume both loaves right away, they freeze beautifully. Wrap
loaf with foil as soon as it comes out of the oven- just foil,
nothing else- the wrapping-while-hot trick retains the moisture
so when thawed it's very fresh tasting. |
