faiza butt
Will it stay soft from inside ?
Aarthi
yes it does
Vasundhara Prakash
1. How long do you knead it for?
2. How long do you let it rise (both the times)?
3. What is the temperature in which it needs to be baked?
4. I don't know if it's my oven (though it works fine making pizzas), but I've already let the bread bake for over 20 minutes and it's still not baked. And the olive oil is sort of floating on the sides.
5. Also my oven has the option of choosing baking from top, bottom, both, sides. I did both. But if looks far from ready!!
Pooja
I baked for 25 minutes. Worked for me.

Can this be made in a breadmaker and if so, how?
Aarthi
not sure about that. I haven't tried it so far.
Dani
Does fry yeast refer to active dry yeast or instant dry yeast?
Linda
Made this today. Very good and super soft texture. It was a big hit with hubby.
