Notes
1. Always use a good quality of yeast. Fresh yeast gives the best result but, it is not feasible to store for a long time. Dry active yeast or dry instant yeast is a better choice for household use.
2. Measure the ingredients accurately.
3. Keep an eye on proofing. Lessor long proofing affects the taste and texture of the bread.
4. Kneading for 13-15 minutes is necessary to get a nice fluffier bread.
5. If tutti frutti is not handy, replace them with nuts or dried fruits.
6. Preheating of the oven is very important to maintain the temperature required for the baking of bread.
