Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake:
Bake the bread for 25-30 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. You can also use a thermometer to check that the internal temperature is around 190°F (88°C).
Cool:
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Tips for Success
Proper Kneading: Ensure the dough is kneaded well to develop gluten, which gives the bread its structure and texture.
Rising Time: If your dough is rising slowly, make sure your yeast is fresh and that the rising environment is warm.
Adding Flavors: Feel free to add herbs, seeds, or cheese to the dough for extra flavor. You can mix in about 1/4 cup of your favorite additions after kneading the dough.
Storage: Store the bread in a paper bag or wrapped in a cloth at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the bread, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
