These are the 6 factors of success in baking bread
1. the baking and resting time
Good things take time. This also applies to your homemade bread. Compared to us, the dough is in anything but a hurry. Let the dough rest a little too long rather than too short. With yeast bread, you need to allow up to an hour.

2. the temperature
And twice. Namely, the temperature that your bread needs to rise and the baking temperature. Yeast dough works best at 32°. Since we don't usually have that in the house, the dough just takes a little longer. Impatient people put it in the oven.
3. kneading
Either yours or your mixer's. Only if the ingredients of your bread recipes are mixed well, you will be successful. You can do this either with a mixer or a food processor. In both cases, the dough hook is important.
4. your oven
When your bread dough is halfway done, it's time for the oven. Never put the bread in a cold oven.
5. the timing
When is the bread ready? It depends on the form you have chosen and your oven. If you have chosen a loaf pan, leave the bread in the oven for 50 minutes. Then take it out for a moment and tap it. If it sounds hollow, it is ready.
6. the conclusion
When you take the bread out of the oven, it must be removed from the mold immediately. It is best to turn it out onto a rack and let it cool before putting it into the bread box.
