Chef's Pro-Tips
- Measure Flour by Spooning & Leveling: Avoid scooping measuring cups directly into flour bags, which packs the grains densely. Spoon flour into the cup and level with a butter knife.
- Cool in Pan Briefly, Then Rack: Let loaves rest 10 minutes in the loaf tin before turning onto a wire rack. Trapped steam inside pans can make bottom crusts soggy.
