Ingredients: 2 cups warm water, about 100ºF 1/2 cup honey 1 Tablespoon instant yeast 1/4 cup melted butter 1 large egg 2 teaspoons salt 6 cups bread flour( @King Arthur Baking flour ) Directions: 1. Using a stand mixer (@KitchenAid ), add warm water, honey and instant yeast. 2. Add the melted butter, egg, salt, and most of the bread flour (I do 2 cup intervals) and mix together. Gradually add the rest of the flour and knead for 8-10 minutes. The dough should pull away from the sides of the bowl as it kneads. 3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let dough rest for about 1 hour, until doubled in size. Make sure it’s kept in a warm place or it might take up to 2 hours. 4. After the dough has doubled in size, place the dough onto a clean work surface on the counter. Separate into two equal portions of dough. 5. Pat one of the portions of dough into a rectangle (about 7”by 12”). Starting at the edge closest to you, roll up the dough. Take care to press in the dough at the seam after each roll and pinch the seam closed at the end. Pinch and round the ends of the dough just a little to get a uniform loaf. Place in a greased loaf pan. Repeat with the 2nd portion of dough. 6. Cover the loaf pans with plastic wrap and let the bread rise in the pan for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until the dough has risen over the edge of the loaf pan. 7. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Bake the loaves of bread for about 35-40 minutes until golden brown. Check at around 30 mins to check the status. 8. Remove the loaves from the pan after about 5 minutes and place them on a cooling rack. #realfood #bread #healthyeating #comfortfood #homemadebread
