Directions

  1. 1Add 2 cups of warm water to a large bowl.
  2. 2Add 1 tablespoon of yeast to the warm water.
  3. 3Add 1/4 cup of honey to the mixture.
  4. 4Add 4.5 cups of all-purpose or bread flour to the wet ingredients.
  5. 5Add 2 teaspoons of salt to the flour mixture.
  6. 6Add 2 tablespoons of melted butter to the bowl.
  7. 7Mix all ingredients together by hand until a shaggy dough forms.
  8. 8Transfer the dough to a clean, floured surface and begin kneading.
  9. 9Gradually add the remaining half-cup of flour while kneading until the dough is soft, smoother, and less gooey (the gluten has developed).
  10. 10Place the kneaded dough into a bowl, cover it with a towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for an hour until doubled in size.
  11. 11Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  12. 12Butter a bread pan and a round baking pan for rolls.
  13. 13Cut the risen dough in half since it's a double recipe.
  14. 14Shape one half of the dough into a loaf for the bread pan.
  15. 15Cut the other half of the dough into six equal pieces for the rolls.
  16. 16Shape each piece into a small ball for the rolls.
  17. 17Place the shaped loaf in the bread pan and the rolls in the round baking pan.
  18. 18Let the bread and rolls rise a second time on top of the preheating oven, covered with a towel, until doubled in size.
  19. 19Bake the bread and rolls in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes.
  20. 20Once baked, optionally brush the bread and rolls with melted butter.
  21. 21Serve and enjoy the fresh homemade bread and rolls.

Tips

  • You can half the recipe or make a double recipe for both sandwich bread and rolls.
  • If you want it a little bit cheaper, you can use straight table sugar instead of honey.
  • When adding flour, start with 4.5 cups and add the remaining 0.5 cup slowly while kneading to achieve the desired texture.
  • You can use a stand mixer for kneading, but doing it by hand works too.
  • For the first rise, place the dough in a warm spot like an oven with the light on to keep it slightly warmer.
  • For the second rise, place the pans on top of a preheating oven and cover with a towel.
  • Optionally, brush the baked bread with melted butter for extra flavor and shine.
