Baker's Notes
“Use fresh garlic rather than garlic powder for the best flavour. Mince it finely so it distributes evenly throughout the butter.”

So glad I found this recipe. The instructions are clear and the result is consistently great. I've made it four times already and it's perfect every time.
Bakery-quality bread at home. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out amazing. The proofing tips really helped.
Made this for a dinner party and everyone wanted the recipe. The bread was the star of the table — warm, crusty, and absolutely delicious.
Five stars! The crust was perfectly crispy and the crumb was soft and airy. I'll never buy store-bought bread again.
This is now our go-to bread recipe. The house smelled incredible while it was baking. My kids couldn't wait to tear into a warm slice.
