FAQs
1. Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, you can use whole wheat flour, but the texture may be denser.
2. What if my dough doesn’t rise?
Check if your yeast is fresh. If it’s expired, it won’t work. Also, make sure the water is warm enough.
3. How can I tell when my dough has risen enough?
The dough should double in size and be puffy. You can gently press your finger into the dough; if it springs back, it’s ready!
