Making bread at home can range from simple to surprisingly complex, and a crucial step in the process is leavening. A well-made loaf must also be well-leavened, and certain conditions and procedures are more effective than others.

It’s essential to understand the preparation phases and avoid common mistakes that can compromise the final product, such as using inactive yeast, incorrect leavening times, or poor choices for the resting location. While the first two issues are relatively easy to address, finding a warm and humid spot in your kitchen can be more challenging. Here are our tips for perfect leavening.
