Fresh Homemade Bread with Honey Butter
Fresh Homemade Bread and Honey Butter!
Now this will take to back to the good ole’ and the smell of fresh bread baking in the oven. You’re standing there by the stove waiting and waiting for this bread to get done and our hoping to be the first one to slice off that end piece and slather it with some real honey butter and take that first bite. Oh, it’s heavenly. It’s nice and warm to the touch and just melts in your mouth with that sweet buttery goodness.
This is Not gluten free! Yep! That’s right! It’s is fully loaded! I haven’t made bread for my husband in years and he asked for it over the weekend and so I went in a whipped him up some and thought I would share this with you.
Homemade Bread – Not Gluten Free
Ingredients:
7 to 8 Cups - All Purpose flour
2 Packets - Instant Yeast
2 Cups - Butter Milk – remember you can make your own by adding vinegar
¼ Cup - Stevia – you can use regular
1/3 Cup - Coconut Oil
1 ½ Teaspoon - Sea Salt
2 – Eggs
Mix 3 cups of flour and yeast together in a large bowl and set aside. In a small pot heat milk, sugar, salt and coconut oil until its warm (like the warmth of drinking a cup of tea). Add milk mixture to flour and yeast mixture along with eggs and blend with a hand mixture for about 3 minutes.
With wooden spoon mix in rest of flour. Put some flour on your working surface and put the dough on it and knead. You will need to keep adding a few sprinkles of flour as you knead, it will keep dough from sticking. Knead for about 6 to 8 minutes. Place dough into a large greased bowl and cover with a warm wet cloth. Set in a warm dry place and let rise for 1 hour.
Punch dough in the middle and separate into 2 balls and let set for a few minutes. Place each ball into a greased bread pan and let rise for an additional 45 minutes. Then bake at 350 degrees 30 minutes or until golden brown on the top. You may need to cover in tinfoil after 25 minutes of baking. Bread is done when you tap the top and it sounds hollow.
Honey Butter
Ingredients
3 – Tablespoons of Butter at room temperature
1 – Tablespoon of Fresh Raw Honey – we use local, it’s so much better for you
Whip with a fork or whisk and apply to hot out of the oven bread. Sorry, didn't get a picture of the honey butter. Will next time I make it.

That reminds me of the bread we have made in the past. There was a time we mad bread in a bread machine. Now , we have another recipe for bread that doesn't require a bread machine.

Oh I can almost smell the aroma and feel the warm bread. It made my mouth water.

Now you've made me hungry. I can almost smell the bread.

Oh my, a few slices of warm, homemade bread and some homemade hot cocoa is one of my favorite childhood memories. I may have to make this bread and pass those same memories onto my grandchildren. Shared to social media so everyone can enjoy!

I love honey butter with hot Utah-style scones (actually, fried dough squares). I've never tried it on bread.

It's been a long time since I made bread, since we are supposed to be gluten free now. I can almost smell this baking, though, and I'm tempted. Good thing I don't have time. Could you remind me how to make the buttermilk with vinegar? Can you use only dairy milk?
tinamarie wrote on October 27, 2014, 1:11 PM
1 - teaspoon of vinegar per cup of milk to make buttermilk. I think any dairy milk will do. I've made it with Almond milk as well. My husband, son and grandkids got to enjoy this bread, I had to taste it threw them as I am also gluten free. I'm working on a no fail recipe now for gluten free bread. The last I tried was almost there, but not good enough.

I've never used a bread machine, but have heard they are easy to use. I like to make it the old way... it's therapeutic with the kneading.
tinamarie wrote on October 27, 2014, 1:27 PM
I know! It brings back such good memories of sitting in the kitchen as a child, just waiting for the timer to go off.
tinamarie wrote on October 27, 2014, 1:28 PM
Mine was too! And, I didn't even get to eat any of it.
tinamarie wrote on October 27, 2014, 1:28 PM
It's worth the work and very cathartic.

Thank! Then I'm doing my job here. :)

Thanks Deb for sharing!! I made my husband and grilled cheese and tomato sandwich today with it.

I love honey butter and cinnamon on pancakes. Utah-style scones.... will have to try and make those.
Feisty56 wrote on October 27, 2014, 1:39 PM
I am sure your husband relished every bite of that sandwich!

Be sure to tag me on that one.

I used to make a lot of bread until the strain of kneading made my knuckles hurt. I had never heard of coconut oil in those days but I have it now and that would be a lovely addition to bread.

I like a woman that uses her loaf...lol

i like bread, i think i mentioned it earlier in one of the post :D i can't help myself for craving of bread.
chatombreux wrote on October 28, 2014, 11:10 PM
Apparently, there are quite a lot of choices on Pinterest. But, basically, they are a sweeter yeast dough that is deep fried. Like Navajo fry bread or Mexican sopaipillas. They frequently slice them (if they make them rectangular) and use them for sandwiches. I loved having them with barbecue'd beef. But, the little ones are popular stuffed with honey butter. Good memories. You can use bread dough, though, to make them.

Lovely photos of your bread in its various stages. When an acquaintance one told me he enjoyed kneading bread I thought he was nuts, but now that I am retired I too enjoyed kneading dough by hand. When I was working, I made my bread dough in the Vitamix machine to save time.
tinamarie wrote on October 29, 2014, 11:12 AM
It's rising now! So, we will see if I've got it down yet or not!
tinamarie wrote on October 29, 2014, 11:15 AM
It's so good to use in breads, cakes or anything! I always use it. Also, it's healthier for you.
tinamarie wrote on October 29, 2014, 11:16 AM
LOLOL... My husband says he married me for my skills!
tinamarie wrote on October 29, 2014, 11:17 AM
I love it! I do have a recipe that needs no "kneading", but I never make it that way. I prefer to knead the dough with my hands. It gets me thinking of what I want to develop next.

mmmmm, there is bread in the bread maker right now. May have to mix up some butter and honey.
