Cooking Tips

• You can add other flours like whole wheat flour or all-purpose flour to the finger millet flour for a lighter texture.
• Make sure the water is warm, but not too hot, as it can kill the yeast.
• To check if the bread is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the bread is ready.

Storage and Serving

• Store the bread in an airtight container or wrap it tightly in plastic wrap to keep it fresh.
• It can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
• Toast the slices before serving to enhance the flavor and texture.
