For those who don't know, it is very important to let your bread cool before you cut it. It will retain its moisture better if you don't open up the crust by cutting it and being greedy for fresh warm bread.
If you should decide to cut it so you can have melted butter on your bread right away out of the oven, and then you tried to put it in a bag so it can retain its moisture you will get wet bread. Then you will have to take it out wrap it in paper towels put that back into your wet bag and let the moisture work itself back into the interior of the bread, then take out the wet paper towels later in the day. You may also have to partially closed your bag and rotate that loaf of bread, that has become problematic, so that it won't eventually mold on one side which will be the side you left it on after you took the paper towels out that is now the most moist part of the bread loaf.😅
Been there done that listen to the voice of experience, you'll be happier for it.😊 Let your bread cool, slice it, heat it up if you want melted butter on it. Or just make rolls in the first place

Looks delicious Lesley, 😋 do you know if it will turn out if needing to sub Gluten-free flour?
Your should always start with warm water and yeast. It activates the yeast. You won't have to let it rise for 2 hours. More like 20 minutes
That looks yummy ❤❤
RIGHT?! It’s a fabulous and easy recipe. Glad you like it! 🎉
Thank you .
Easy yes, delicious I'm sure, but kinda ugly.
Can you make it look better?
Sounds good and easy!
Adding rosemary would take that to the next level.😊
LEAVE OUT THE YEAST AND YOU HAVE FLOUR TORTILLAS 😅
