Cool it on wire rack and cut.

Note:

1,Baking time may from oven to oven.After 20 mins first check and keep if it has not done.If u feel its over browning cover with aluminium foil and bake.

2.If using dry yeast first proof it and then add.

3.Cool it well before cutting.Also grease well the baking tray or line with baking paper as mine got stucked in it( since i didn't grease well) better to line it with butter paper/ aluminium foil.
