- ✓Let microwave bread rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing because residual steam continues cooking and firms up the crumb structure, preventing collapse.timing2-3 minutes
- ✓Grease your bowl with neutral oil at 15-20% fat content relative to flour weight because too little causes sticking while too much creates a greasy exterior that won't toast properly.technique15-20% fat ratio
