Who doesnβt love the smell of homemade bread baking?Β There is just something about that smell that makes my house feel warm and cozy.Β I have always loved making bread but over the last few weeks I have been trying out different recipes and I have found one that we love.Β It is a little sweet but so delicious!Β

Homemade Honey White Bread
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water sometimes I need more or less
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 egg
- 3Β½ cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons yeast
- Β½ cup honey or sugar
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in mixer with dough blade until dough forms. It should be dry enough to not be sticky but wet enough to not crumble.
- Lift dough out of bowl, spray with olive oil (I spray the bowl) and place dough back in bowl covered with towel, allow to rise for 30-60 minutes.
- Knead with dough blade (will deflate).
- Remove from bowl, place dough on flowered surface and knead by hand a few times.
- Divide in half.
- Roll into 2 loaf shapes and place in loaf pans (mist pan with olive oil first).
- Cover and allow to rise (depends upon temp in room, but usually around 60 minutes β it should be slightly over the top edge of the pan, do not allow to over-rise).
- Bake at 350 for around 20-30 minutes or until golden brown on top. At around the 15 minute mark, I mist the top of the loaf with olive oil and continue cooking until done.
This bread recipe is perfect when you pair it with a soup like my Baked Potato Soup or it makes amazing sandwiches.Β
If you are new to making bread, I shared a really easy recipe for a Dutch Oven Bread that is really yummy!Β
Do you make homemade breads and rolls?Β What are your favorite recipes?Β
What kind of yeast did you use? There are so many kinds out there from cake yeast to self rising to fast acting. Would like to try this bread but don’t want to screw up the yeast.
Can this recipe for bread be done in a bread maker?
mine didn’t rise!! at al!! i’ve done everything right! π
I just have to tell you Chrissy that I just pulled 2 loaves of your recipe from the oven. First, the house smells amazing lol. Next, I have never made bread before and your recipe was so easy to follow! Lastly, they look to darn cute to eat π Thanks so much for sharing your recipe! I am thinking once Mr. B tries a slice, I will be a hero π
Yah, Kathe!!! I’m so glad that it was easy and worked for you!! π I hope it’s as good as it looks! π Thanks so much for sharing with me!
Oh goodness Chrissy! It tastes like heaven! Just a teensy hint of sweetness! We’ll be having panini sandwhiches with this bread tomorrow π Thanks so much again! I gave this post a shout out on my personal and blog Facebook pages too π
I’ve pinned it and I’m willing to try. Yeast and I don’t get along when it comes to making and baking bread – things go badly! But, I trust your recipes so I’ll give it a shot. Wish me luck! LOVD tidings, Lilly
Thanks!! I hope that you love it! π
YUMMY! I am pinning to make later!
