Note

Storage: Wrap cooled bread tightly in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, slice and freeze in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months.

Substitutions: You can substitute milk with water for a lighter crumb, or use olive oil instead of butter for a different flavor profile. Whole wheat flour can replace up to half of the all-purpose flour for added nutrition, though the loaf will be denser.

Tips: Ensure water and milk are warm (110-115F) but not hot, as excessive heat can kill the yeast. If the dough is too sticky, add flour sparingly; if too dry, add water one teaspoon at a time.

Variations: Add 1 tablespoon of honey to the yeast mixture for a slightly sweeter bread, or incorporate herbs and garlic powder for a savory twist.
