Technique Tip for Making This Bread<\/h2>

When kneading the dough<\/span>, ensure you use the heel of your hand to push the dough<\/span> away from you, then fold it back over itself. This technique helps develop the gluten<\/span> structure, giving the bread<\/span> its chewy texture. If the dough<\/span> is too sticky, add a little more whole wheat flour<\/span> gradually, but be careful not to add too much as it can make the bread<\/span> dense.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n
