Hi, Bread making is an art and one can master it with practice....make sure the tin you use is also of the size mentioned and the oven temperature is also as said....the yeast you use is also important we have used prime instant dry yeast that will make the bread rise well....

Made it for a Sunday brunch at home and ate it with almond butter. It tasted so delicious and got over in no time. Made another batch on the same evening and stored it in the refrigerator. Thanks for the recipe.
