5 cups of water (about 300 ml)

Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted?Yes, just reduce the added salt in the dough to avoid over-seasoning.

Can I make this bread gluten-free?You can try a gluten-free flour blend, but the texture may vary. Add xanthan gum if your mix doesn’t include it.

Can I double the recipe?Absolutely. Simply double all ingredients and use two pans or a larger baking dish.

What type of flour works best?All-purpose or bread flour works well. Avoid self-rising flour as it alters the results.

How do I store leftovers?Wrap in foil or keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 2–3 days.

Can I add yeast to make it fluffier?Yes, but the recipe would need to change. This version is meant to be quick and yeast-free.

What if my dough is too sticky?Add a tablespoon of flour at a time while kneading until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Can I use oil instead of butter?Yes, but the flavor and crust will be different. Butter gives it a rich, golden finish.

Is this bread good for freezing?Yes! Slice it and wrap it well. Freeze for up to 2 months. Toast or warm to revive.

Can I use milk instead of water?Yes, using milk will create a slightly softer, richer loaf.
