- Once the cooking time is up, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for 5-10 minutes, then carefully release the remaining pressure using the quick release method.
- Open the lid and check the bread. The top should be golden brown, and the bread should feel firm and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
9. Optional Step: Broil the Top:
- If you’d like a crispier crust on top, transfer the bread to an oven-safe baking dish and place it under a broiler for 3-5 minutes until the top is golden and crispy.
10. Cool and Serve:
- Let the bread cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Slice, butter, and enjoy!
Tips:
- Instant Pot Size: This recipe works for a 6-quart Instant Pot. If you’re using an 8-quart model, you may need to increase the dough quantity slightly.
- Flavor Variations: Add herbs, garlic, or shredded cheese to the dough for extra flavor. You can also sprinkle some sea salt on top before cooking for added taste.
- No Trivet? If you don’t have a trivet, you can place the dough directly in a well-greased, oven-safe dish that fits inside the Instant Pot.
Enjoy:
