Steps:
- Place the water in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. If the bowl is cold, be sure the water temperature doesn't drop below 110 degrees F. Add the yeast and sugar; stir and allow them to dissolve for 5 minutes.
- Add the milk, butter, and honey. Mix on medium speed until blended. Add the egg yolks, 3 cups of the flour, and the salt. Mix on low speed for about 5 minutes. With the mixer still on low speed, add 2 more cups of flour. Raise the speed to medium and slowly add just enough of the remaining flour so the dough doesn't stick to the bowl. Add the flour slowly; you can always add more but you can't take it out. Knead on medium speed for about 8 minutes, adding flour as necessary.
- Dump the dough out onto a floured surface and knead by hand for a minute, until the dough is smooth and elastic. Grease a bowl with butter, put the dough in the bowl, then turn it over so the top is lightly buttered. Cover the bowl with a damp towel and allow it to rise for one hour, until doubled in volume.
- Grease two 9 x 5-inch loaf pans with butter. Divide the dough in half, roll each half into a loaf shape and place each in a prepared pan. Cover again with the damp towel, and allow to rise again for an hour, until doubled in volume.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. When the dough is ready, brush the tops with the egg white and bake the breads for 40 to 45 minutes, until they sound hollow when tapped. Turn them out of the pans and cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, add water, yeast, honey and salt. Let it rest for 5 minutes (or until the yeast foams).
- Add in flour 1 cup at a time, kneading it between each cup of flour added if you are making it by hand. If you are making it with a mixer (like a Bosch or Kitchen Aid), use a paddle attachment and just let it mix while you add the flour.
- Knead bread for about 5 minutes. If the dough is sticky, add only enough flour so that the dough barely pulls away from the bowl. Every time I make bread, the amount of flour I use varies - humidity and elevation will make a big difference too. I usually use between 10-11 cups.
- Preheat oven to 170 degrees; turn the oven off, and let dough rise inside the oven for 15 minutes.
- Carefully remove bowl from oven. Spray the back of your hand with cooking spray and punch down the dough. Form into a log and cut in half, forming two larger-sized loaves. Put into 2 greased loaf pans.
- Again, preheat oven (if it?s not warm anymore) to 170 degrees and let the dough in the pans rise in the oven for 20-30 minutes, or until the dough doubles in size.
- Remove dough from oven and set oven temperature to 350 degrees. Once oven is pre-heated, place the loaves back in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove from pans immediately and let cool completely on a cooling rack.

BREAD MACHINE BUTTERMILK AND HONEY WHEAT BREAD
This is one of my favorites. The recipe came from Eagle Mills. If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute 1 cup milk plus 1 teaspoon cider vinegar, and let it sit about 10 minutes before using. You can also add 4 tbs. buttermilk powder to the dry ingredients and substitute water for the buttermilk. I have also used plain all-purpose flour with excellent results.

Steps:
- Place ingredients into bread machine according to machines specifications.
- Use basic white bread cycle, light crust setting.
- One tip- To get all your honey out of the measuring cups, stir around in the warm milk.
- You may also try substituting some flour with dry oatmeal for a Sweet Honey Oatmeal Bread. Just watch your liquid amount, it may need more or less.
Tips:
- Use quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the final product will be. This is especially true for the honey, which should be pure and flavorful.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense loaf of bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the yeast to work and produce a light, airy loaf of bread.
- Bake the bread until it is golden brown: This will ensure that it is cooked through and has a slightly crispy crust.
- Let the bread cool before slicing: This will help to prevent the bread from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Honey bread is a delicious, versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to suit your own taste. With a little practice, you will be able to make perfect honey bread every time.
