    Thank you ma… Please ma, what makes a bread dry and crunchy. The last one I made was very dry and crunchy. I don’t like it

    • Dolapo Grey August 5, 2020 9:58 am

      It could be too much heat or the dough was left to rise for too long or the dough kneaded a bit more kneading.

    On step 1, when you sprinkle the yeast, do you use part of that 1 tablespoon yeast that calls on the recipe? I notice on Step 4, you add yeast too.
