Tips

• Knead slowly. Kneading works on gluten and helps to achieve a uniform texture and a crunchy finish. Therefore, it is important to knead the dough well by hand, or slowly with an electric mixer, so that it does not get too hot. Uses dry baker's yeast , which is easier to mix and more effective.

• Just before baking. Paint the surface of the bread with water to give it a beautiful golden finish. You can also add seeds or grated cheese on top.

• Mix different types of flour. The basic flour is type 55 wheat flour, but you can use other flours to vary the flavor:
