Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Make Bread Triangles in a Bread Machine?
Yes, feel free to mix the dough and let it do its first rise in a bread machine if desired. Then, you can proceed with shaping the triangles by hand before letting them do their second rise.
Why is My Bread Not Rising?
If you find that your bread triangles aren’t rising, it could be that the yeast wasn’t very fresh or that it is too cool in your kitchen. Before making this recipe, make sure that the yeast you use is still fresh and active.
Meanwhile, in the case of the kitchen temperature, you could place the dough in an insulated place like a turned off oven to see if that speeds up the rising time.
Can I Replace the Sesame Seeds?
Yes, you can! If you don’t love sesame seeds or someone in your family has an allergy, you could simply omit them or replace them with another type of seed. Poppyseeds, sunflower seeds, or pumpkin seeds would all be wonderful garnishes on these bread triangles.
