Honey Bread Recipe

	Unswissmiss / All my dishes 2 years, 6 months ago A nice, soft loaf bread that's great plain, or with peanut butter, preserves, or Nutella. The proofing stage (rising) takes longer than most breads due to the butter and yolk-rich dough. Prep:30m Cook:30m Servings:16	Unswissmiss

Ingredients

1 C. milk

1/4 C. honey

1/4 oz. active dry yeast (2 1/2 tsp., 1 package)

1/2 stick (1/4 C.) unsalted butter, melted

2 large egg yolks

4 C. bread flour

2 tsp. salt

Directions

In a small saucepan, heat milk with honey, stirring, over low heat until just lukewarm. (It should be warm, but not be uncomfortable to keep your finger in the milk.)

Remove pan from heat. Stir in yeast and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.

Add butter and yolks, whisking until combined well.

Transfer milk mixture to bowl.

Gradually add flour and salt, stirring until incorporated. Knead 10-15 minutes.

Transfer to lightly oiled large bowl and turn to coat with oil.

Let dough rise, covered with plastic wrap, until doubled in bulk (2 hours in warm place, or overnight in refrigerator).

Punch down dough, place in loaf pan, and let rise until doubled in bulk.

Bake at 400°F for 25-30 minutes.

This is a great recipe for a soft bread. I have an almost exact that recipe calls for a cup of oatmeal replacing one cup of flour. And for additional crunch, add about a 1/3 cup of all-bran cereal (Do not replace any flour). Because the rich dough (fats and sugars) need stronger yeast, I double the yeast. Go to tips group and there is a discussion of yeast. Pass the Peanut Butter and Jelly.

The oatmeal version sounds great. This version has worked well for me, but will look for the thread on yeast as well. Thanks for the tip.
