Bee Bread





For Tasty Tuesdays we made some of what Mason calls "Bee Bread" It is of course called that because it has honey in it.
The real name and recipe is as follows....WHO Bread - acoustic style
1 1/4 cup water2 tablespoons honey2 tablespoons butter @ room temperature1 tsp salt3 cups of flour (we do 2 cups unbleached white, 1 cup whole wheat pastry)1/2 cup rolled oats1 tablespoons brown sugar1 tsp cinnamon2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (or, one package)
Pour 1 1/4c. warm water (about 110 degrees F), honey, sugar, and yeast into a bowl. Whisk until well combined and mixture is frothy. Set aside to proof while you mix together the other ingredients.In a separate large bowl stir together, flour, butter, salt, rolled oats, and cinnamon.Pour yeast mixture into flour mixture, and mix until thoroughly combined. (I like to do this with my hands.)Place dough into a lightly oiled bread pan. Cover with a damp towel and leave in a warm spot to rise for about an hour (45 min. if you’re impatient!). Punch down dough and let rise a second time for 45 minutes, covered with a damp towel.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove towel from top of dough and place pan in the center of your oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Done!
