Note

Storage: Store cooled bread in a plastic bag or wrapped in foil at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, slice and freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Substitutions: You can substitute fresh rosemary (1 tablespoon chopped) for the dried. If you prefer a sweeter bread, increase the sugar slightly or add cinnamon.

Tips: Ensure water and milk are warm (about 105-110°F) to activate the yeast without killing it. If the dough feels too sticky during kneading, add a tablespoon of flour at a time. If too dry, add a teaspoon of water.
