Milk and Honey Loaf image

I am not sure why this is called Milk and Honey Loaf. There is no milk in the recipe. I have only recently started making bread, and this is the recipe a friend started me with. It has been passed from person to person for some time, and is very easy.

Time 5h

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
½ cup honey
3 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 teaspoons salt
½ cup butter, melted
1 cup rye flour
3 cups whole wheat flour
5 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Allow yeast to sit until it begins to form bubbles.
  • Add honey, butter, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir in flours one cup at a time, beginning with the rye. When the dough begins to stiffen, turn it out on to a well floured surface. Knead for 5 minutes, adding flour as needed. Place into a greased bowl, and turn once to oil the surface of the dough. Cover with a damp cloth. Allow to rise in a warm place until doubled, approximately 1 to 2 hours.
  • Punch down dough, and knead again until smooth. Split into 3 loaves, and knead for a few more minutes. Place loaves in three oiled pans. Allow to rise until double, 1 to 2 hours.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 20 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, and then turn out onto counter or wire rack to completely cool.

This bread is so easy to make and it always turns out perfectly. I love the way the honey glaze caramelizes on top. It's the perfect bread for any occasion.

This bread was a disappointment. It was dry and bland, and the honey flavor was barely noticeable. I won't be making this again.

This bread was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it. I think I'll try using less honey next time.

I'm not a huge fan of honey, but this loaf was still really good. The texture was perfect and the flavor was subtle but still noticeable.

I was so excited to try this recipe, but unfortunately it didn't turn out well for me. The loaf was dry and crumbly, and the flavor was bland. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I'll definitely be trying a different recipe next time.

This bread was a bit denser than I expected, but the flavor was still good. I think I might try adding a little more honey next time to see if that makes it sweeter.

This milk and honey loaf was a delightful treat! The texture was moist and fluffy, and the flavor was perfectly balanced between sweet and tangy. I added a glaze of honey on top before baking, which gave it an extra touch of sweetness and shine.
