 Q & A

Q: Can I use active dry yeast instead of instant?
A: Yes, just activate it in warm water first (same method).

Q: Can I freeze the bread?
A: Absolutely. Freeze once cooled. Reheat in oven or air fryer.

Q: Why is my bread dense?
A: Yeast may be old, or dough didn’t rise long enough.

Q: Can I make this without sugar?
A: Sugar helps yeast activate, but you can reduce it to 1 tsp.
