Add-Ins: Fold in herbs, seeds (like sesame or sunflower), or grated cheese during the shaping step for extra flavor.
Gluten-Free Option: Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend designed for bread.
Whole Wheat Version: Replace up to half the flour with whole wheat flour for a heartier texture.
Storage: Store the bread in a paper bag or loosely wrapped in a kitchen towel to maintain the crust. For longer storage, freeze slices in an airtight container.
