Wildflower Honey Bread

• 

Bread is delicious and I really like to make this recipe. I’ve been playing with honey and baked goods, and I’m still shocked by how the flavor of the honey is so prevalent in the item. I used a local honey made from bees eating only wild flowers, and the floral flavor was very present in this bread. My starter is starting to get more sour, so my bread wasn’t as pleasant as usual.

1. Mix together in a bowl, 1 cup of starter (if you don’t have starter bloom 1 Tbsp active yeast in 1 cups warm water and 1 cups flour), add 2 cups flour, 3 Tbsp wildflower honey, and 2 Tbsp oil.
2. Mix by hand or with a dough hook until dough comes together. Knead until elastic.
3. Place in an oiled bowl, turn over, cover with a hand towel, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
4. Grease a 9×5 bread pan. Punch down the dough, kneed, and form into loaf. Place in prepared pan, and let sit until doubled in size, 1 to 2 hours.
5. Heat oven to 350 F. Once risen to 1/2 to 3/4 of the pan full, bake for 30 minutes. Let cool for 15 minute before serving
