Tips and Tricks: The Easiest Way to Make Bread Dough Without Yeast
Scoring or cutting the center top of the dough helps the bread bake evenly. Covering with foil halfway through bake time prevents the crust from over-browning. The bread will last up to 3 days at room temperature and up to 1 week if refrigerated. You can toast it or eat it with honey butter or any desired spreads to satisfy your taste buds.
