Notes

1)Activating yeast before adding is important. The yeast should turn foamy. Then add it to the flour. If the yeast didn't foam up then dont add it to flour. The dough wont rise.
2) If you use instant yeast, then you can add it straight to the wheat flour. Dont need to activate it separately.
3)Don't over bake it, if you do then the bread will get hard.
4)You can add honey instead of sugar.
