Helpful Tips:

1) Yeast is best stored in the refrigerator, as the fungud in it will be killed at high temperatures. Before using yeast check the production date and storage life of your yeast. Refrigerate it as soon as possible after each use. The main cause of bread falling to rise is bad yeast.

2) you can make toast straight from the freezer. just pop your frozen slice of bread straight into the toaster, there's no need to defrost it first.

3) If it's a winter day, the common problem is that dough won't rise. Using a warm oven by turn your oven on and off or with boiled water on the underneath to help your dough rise perfectly.

4) It's recommended to use an oven thermometer if needed.
