What are things to remember when making homemade bread?

[Ye In]

Hey pals, diving into homemade bread making can be a journey filled with trials and triumphs. Remember, yeast is your friend but also fickle, so proofing at the right temperature is crucial. Hydration levels can make or break your loaf, and kneading—though therapeutic—needs a careful touch. Patience is key; let the dough rise until it's just right. Has anyone else found these tips to be game-changers, or do you have other secrets to share? ☺

And hydration levels, oh man, they really do affect the final result. Patience is definitely a virtue when it comes to bread making - waiting for that perfect rise can feel like forever!
