Helpful Tips:


Baking time depends on the size and shape of the bread being baked.

Yes. 2:08 Cover the dough with plastic wrap and allow to cold rise in the lower part of a refrigerator 
24 to 60 hours.  A 24 to 60 hours cold rise in the fridge will make the bread dough better. 

You can choose to ''brush the bread with egg wash'' if you love how the bread get a good flavorful, 
well browned super crunchy, crispy on the outside and super soft and fluffy on the inside. 

If you choose to ''brushing it with melted butter'', 
will help you to achieve a bread with an extremely soft crust.

Continue to kneed until it passes the window pane test. 
If the dough feels very sticky, add a little shake of flour until it becomes smooth and bouncy. 
This is where you are able to pull it to a very thin membrane see through before it breaks.

Most doughs are ready for fermentation when they reach an internal temperature of (25-27°C). 
You can also check the gluten development with the windowpane Test: pull off a chunk of dough
and stretch it with your hands. It should stretch to form a very thin translucent sheet, without tearing.
