Do not let your active dry yeast touch the wet ingredients prematurely, or the fermentation gods will frown upon your baking journey.
Pro Tip
Ensure your sour milk or buttermilk is at room temperature to give the yeast a welcoming, lively environment.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Forgetting to plug in the bread machine and leaving your ingredients to sit in a soggy, room-temperature puddle until the yeast dies of sheer boredom.

Starch Retrogradation Reversal
Storage Science
Store at room temperature in a breathable bread bag or paper wrapper for up to 2 days. DO NOT refrigerate, as the cold accelerates starch retrogradation (staling). For long-term storage, freeze tightly wrapped.
Reheating Science
To reverse staling, flick a few drops of water onto the crust and reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-8 minutes. The steam will re-gelatinize the starches, making the crumb soft and the crust crisp.
