Its been a while, and Ive got alot to catch up on, so Ill start with this delicious bread recipe I made for Meggies birthday feast. It was inspired by this wonderfully cute 101cookbooks recipe.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups warm water (105-115F)
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast (one packet)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted, for brushing
Instructions
In a medium bowl, sprinkle the yeast onto the warm water and stir until the yeast dissolves. Stir in the honey and set aside for a few minutes.
In the meantime, mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the wet mixture to the dry and stir well.
Brush a loaf pan with some of the melted butter. Place the dough into the tin, cover with a clean, slightly damp cloth, and set in a warm place for 30 minutes, to rise.
Preheat the oven to 350F. When ready, bake the bread for 35-40 minutes, until golden and pulling away from the sides of the pan. Remove from oven, and remove the bread out of the pan fairly quickly. Let it cool on a rack so it doesn’t steam in the pan. Serve warm, with butter and jam.
Makes 1 loaf.
mangia!
