FAQs:

1. Can I use all-purpose flour instead of bread flour? Yes, you can use all-purpose flour, but bread flour is recommended for its higher protein content, which helps achieve a chewier texture.

2. What if I don’t have instant yeast? You can use active dry yeast instead. If using active dry yeast, dissolve it in warm milk with a pinch of sugar and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy before adding it to the flour.

3. Can I use non-dairy milk? Yes, you can substitute fresh milk with non-dairy alternatives like almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk.

4. What type of butter should I use? Use unsalted butter to better control the salt content in the recipe.

5. How do I know if my dough is kneaded enough? The dough should be smooth and elastic. If you pull a small piece of dough, it should stretch thin without breaking (windowpane test).

6. Can I let the dough rise overnight? Yes, you can refrigerate the dough during the first rise. Cover it tightly and let it rise overnight in the refrigerator. Allow it to come to room temperature before proceeding.
