FAQ
1. Can I use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour?
Yes, but the bread may be denser. Consider using a mix of half whole wheat and half all-purpose flour for better texture.
2. Can I make this bread without yeast?
Yeast is essential for the traditional texture, but you can try a baking powder version, though it will be more like a cake.
3. Why is my dough too sticky?
If your dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, while kneading. Avoid adding too much, as it can make the bread dry.
4. Can I use other dried fruits instead of raisins?
Yes! Try dried figs, cranberries, or chopped dates for a different flavor.
