FAQ:

Q: Can I use instant yeast instead of active dry yeast?
A: Yes, just skip the proofing step and mix it directly with the flour.

A: Absolutely! Refrigerate after the first rise and bake the next day.

Q: Why is my bread not rising well?
A: Make sure your milk is warm, not hot, and that your yeast is fresh and active.
