Storing Bread
Store bread in your belly – hahaha, just kidding (but am I?)! Allow the bread to cool completely before storing it. Place the bread in a plastic or paper bag, bread box, or wrap it in plastic wrap. If wrapping, overlap the sheets slightly to keep out air. Keep stored on kitchen counter, good for up to 5 days.

Natalie Janowiak says
It made a very small loaf. I followed the directions exactly. All fresh ingredients. We’ll see how it tastes after it cools down. (I can’t figure out how to add pictures)
Natalie Janowiak says
Does it matter what type of powdered milk? Whole or nonfat?.
Pamela Reed says
Hey Natalie, I just checked my kitchen and I use nonfat dry milk powder.
Theresa Mikukski says
can you substitut the p owdered milk for regular milk
Theresa Mikukski says
can you substitute powered milk for regular milk
Pamela Reed says
Hey Theresa, can you? Yes. But I don’t do this so I can’t give you a specific amount. If you try it, you will need to offset the water amount as you are adding more liquid than the recipe needs.
Celeste B says
Can you just sub 3/4 cup milk for 3/4 cup water if you don’t have powdered milk?
Pamela Reed says
Yes, you can. Since whole milk has fat, it may result in a slightly softer, richer crumb. Hope this helps!
