Once completely cooled, slice with a serrated knife and enjoy! (2 minutes)
For a slightly sweeter bread, increase the sugar to 4 tablespoons.
Using melted butter instead of vegetable oil will add a richer flavor and softer texture.
Ensure your yeast is fresh for the best rise. If you're unsure, proof it in a small amount of warm water with a pinch of sugar for 5-10 minutes. If it foams, it's good to use.
If you live in a dry climate, you may need to add an extra tablespoon or two of water to the dough to achieve the desired consistency.
Always let the bread cool completely before slicing. Warm bread is difficult to slice and will have a gummy texture.
