Make Ahead: You can prepare the dough a day before and let it rise slowly in the refrigerator. Be sure to bring it to room temperature before shaping and baking.
Storage: Keep the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For extended storage, freeze it for up to 3 months.
Flavored Variation: For a sweet twist, incorporate chocolate chips, raisins, or shredded coconut into the dough.
