Ingredients for Milk-and-Honey White Bread Recipe

  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Honey
  • 1.13 teaspoon Active Dry Yeast
  • 2 cup All Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt

Directions: Milk-and-honey White Bread Recipe

Cooking Directions

  • STEP 1.In a small saucepan, heat milk and butter until butter is melted. Remove from heat and let cool to lukewarm.
  • STEP 2.In a large mixing bowl, combine lukewarm milk mixture, honey, yeast, and 2 cups of flour. Stir until well combined.
  • STEP 3.Add remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
  • STEP 4.Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  • STEP 5.Punch down the dough and divide it in half. Shape each half into a loaf and place in greased loaf pans. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  • STEP 6.Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the loaves for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
  • STEP 7.Remove the bread from the pans and let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
  • STEP 8.Store the bread in an airtight container or plastic bag at room temperature for up to 3 days. It can also be frozen for longer storage.

Cooking Tips

  • Make sure the milk mixture is lukewarm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic to develop gluten and create a light, airy texture.
  • To check if the bread is done, tap the bottom of the loaf with your knuckles. It should sound hollow.
  • For a softer crust, brush the tops of the loaves with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven.

Storage and Serving

  • To store the bread, place it in an airtight container or plastic bag at room temperature.
  • Serve the bread sliced and enjoy it as is, or use it to make sandwiches, toast, or French toast.
  • For longer storage, the bread can be frozen. Slice it before freezing and thaw individual slices as needed.
