For a richer flavor, try using brown butter instead of melted butter. If your kitchen is cold, place the dough in a slightly warmed oven (turned off) to rise. To ensure even baking, rotate the loaf pans halfway through the baking time. For a softer crust, cover the loaves with a clean kitchen towel while cooling.
