Notes

This recipe is enough for two loaves of bread. You can cut the recipe in half to make one loaf.

If you won't eat the second loaf immediately, wrap the cooled loaf in plastic wrap, then in foil and freeze for up to six months. When ready to eat, remove from the freezer, remove the foil and plastic wrap, and let sit at room temperature to defrost.
