Steps:
- In a small bowl, stir honey into warm water, then sprinkle with yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Stir together flour and salt in a medium bowl, then stir in yeast mixture and melted butter just until a dough forms. Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a large buttered bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Punch down dough. Shape into an 8-inch square, about 1 inch thick. Fold in two opposite sides of dough to meet in middle, slightly overlapping. Press seam to seal. Place dough, seam-side down, in a buttered 9-by-5-inch loaf pan. Sprinkle with flour. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in warm spot until dough is about 3/4 inch above top of pan, 30 to 45 minutes.
- Transfer pan to oven and immediately reduce heat to 350 degrees. Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until top is golden brown and bottom sounds hollow when tapped, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in pan on wire rack 20 minutes, then turn out bread onto rack and let cool completely. Bread can be stored, tightly wrapped, at room temperature up to 3 days or frozen up to 3 months.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, juicy apricots. This will ensure that your bread is moist and flavorful. You can use fresh or dried apricots, but if you're using dried apricots, be sure to soak them in hot water for 15 minutes before using.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bread tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This will help the bread rise evenly.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help the bread hold its shape.
- Enjoy the bread fresh or toasted. Honey apricot bread is delicious on its own, or you can serve it with butter, cream cheese, or jam.
Conclusion:
Honey apricot bread is a delicious and easy-to-make quick bread. It's perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack. With its sweet and tangy flavor, honey apricot bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying treat, give honey apricot bread a try.
