Notes
For a dairy-free version, substitute warm milk with almond or soy milk. Use honey or maple syrup in place of sugar for a healthier option. Experiment with whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor and added fiber. Store cooled bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage. Add herbs or seeds to the dough for extra flavor and crunch.
