1. Honey Bread sounded SO good... but I hate the taste of rye bread... I know, I'm too pedestrian! LOL!

Anyway, I searched for a honey bread that doesn't use rye, and found this that I'm going to bake up just soon as my SS check gets here next week. (Don't have the money for even these ingredients right now... sigh...) This is a 3 ingredient Honey Bread, for those of us in love with honey AND breads!

3 Ingredient Honey Bread
This honey bread is soft and sweet and just 3 Ingredients.

Servings: 10 slices
Prep Time: 5minutes mins
Cook Time: 40minutes mins
Total Time: 45minutes mins

Ingredients
3 cups (375 g) self rising flour, see note regarding flour amount
1-1/4 cups (296 ml) lowfat milk
1/4 cup (59 ml) honey

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degree F. (177 C). Line and 8x4 inch baking loaf pan with parchment paper.

2. Add flour and milk to a large mixing bowl. Use a whisk to mix the two together, whisking until no flour lumps remain. Be careful not to overmix as it can make your bread tough.

3. Warm up the honey briefly in the microwave (about 15 seconds) until it is a thin runny liquid. You can also warm up the honey on the stove. Pour honey into the bread batter and stir in until honey is evenly mixed in and bread batter is uniform in color.

4. Add batter to your prepared loaf pan. Bake for about 40 minutes or until bread is done. When bread is ready, if you apply light pressure to the surface, it should bounce back. Let the bread cool fully before slicing. The bread is best enjoyed soon after it is baked. If you are eating the next day, warm up bread slices before eating.

Notes


This recipe was originally tested with White Lily's self-rising flour which has a lower protein content than some other brands of self-rising flour. Please check the protein content of your flour before starting. If your self-rising flour has 2 grams of protein per 1/4 cup, then you can use the amount stated in the recipe. If your self-rising flour has 3 grams of protein per 1/4 cup, then remove 6 tbsp of the flour from the amount in the recipe and replace with 6 tbsp of cornstarch.

Homemade self-rising flour: If your all purpose flour has 3 grams of protein per 1/4 cup, use the following measurements: Add 2 cups + 10 tbsp all purpose flour, 4.5 tsp baking powder, 6 tbsp cornstarch and 3/4 tsp salt to a bowl. Whisk until evenly combined. If your all purpose flour has 2 grams of protein per 1/4 cup, use the following measurements: Add 3 cups all purpose flour, 4.5 tsp baking powder, and 3/4 tsp salt to a bowl. Whisk until evenly combined.

To properly measure flour, spoon the flour into the measuring cup and then level off with a knife. Do not directly dip the measuring cup into the flour because this results in too much flour. Use this method of measuring whether you are measuring self-rising flour or measuring all purpose flour to make your own self-rising flour.

Make sure you don't add the honey until the end. If you add it at the beginning, it will stick to the flour and cause it to clump.
Warm up the honey before adding it. This will make it easier to mix into the batter and distribute evenly. If you don't warm it up, it will be thick and sticky and hard to mix in.

This bread is lightly sweetened. It is not meant to be like a cake or dessert.

The bread tastes best the same day it is baked. If you plan on eating it the next day, you should warm up the bread again (in the microwave or a toaster oven) to get the texture back to when it was first baked (it will be more brittle and crumbly if you don't reheat it).

I used one percent low fat milk. While I have not tested any substitutions, I think this bread will also work with milk alternatives like oat milk or almond milk.
