Notes
- Lukewarm is considered between 105-110F (40-43C). Be aware that the yeast will die at a temperature over 140F (60C).
- The dough can also be made with a stand mixer if you prefer, knead approximately 5-6 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Store the baked bread slices, let them cool completely then place in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, they should last 10-12 days.
