  • Pat your working counter with some flour and transfer the dough to it.

Notes

  • Bread machine — If you will be using a bread machine, which I don’t recommend as it won’t give you the same satisfaction, remember to start with the dry ingredients, turn on the machine, and then slowly add the oil and the yeast mixture.
 
  • Vitamin C — Although this high-altitude bread recipe doesn’t need vitamin C, adding a pinch of that won’t hurt your chances of making the perfect bread. Vitamin C will strengthen the gluten that is present in the bread flour, which will help the bread rise faster. Needless to say, this wouldn’t work for the gluten-free version.
