Notes

  1. The temperature of water is important. It should be between 105-110*F to work with yeast.
  2. You  can add any herb of your choice to the dough.
  3. If you do not have Instant Pot to proof the bread, you can easily proof the dough without it. Take a steel or glass container and make dough in it. Cover with a damp cloth/kitchen towel and place a lid. Place it in the warm spot of your kitchen. Closed oven is the best bet. Wait for 2-3 hrs till it doubles up. And then follow the instructions as mentioned above.
