Tips for Perfect Bread

Always use freshly ground wheat flour! There is just something about it being fresh that makes the bread taste better! I have used flour that I have ground a day or two before for this recipe and the bread didn't taste the same.

The Hot Water is more actually means the temperature of a baby's bath water. I have used really hot water before and it killed the yeast.
