Tip

Just a little side note - have you ever wondered why some of the loaves of homemade Amish bread have fork marks on them? Well, we did. So we decided to ask when we were at a little place that sold baked goods and produce. The woman told us that they push fork marks into the dough before it rises to help prevent air bubbles from forming in the bread.

If you want to try this, push fork marks into the bottom of the loaves of dough and then place that side of the loaf down in the pan.
