Frequently asked questions
Can I use hot water instead of warm water?
We do not recommend it, as the hot water can cook part of the dough before you add the other ingredients.
What is the difference between biological and chemical yeast?
Biological yeast is made from natural yeasts, while chemical yeast is made from starch polymers.
How do I ensure the bread stays very crispy?
Make the bread in the hot oven for longer or increase the oven temperature.
How can I reduce the sugar?
You can reduce the sugar by up to 50% without the bread losing its flavor.
