Honey Bread
Honey bread. I asked a friend a long time ago how he makes bread and he said, “Simple. Flour, salt, water and yeast. Then bake.” Over the years, I found many recipes on the internet which had all sorts of different grains in the recipe, but to be honest, I was too lazy to use all the ingredients but I liked the idea of using honey. So, after some experimentation, I came up with this recipe. Enjoy!
