Directions
- 1In a stand mixer bowl, combine warm water and honey. Sprinkle yeast over the mixture and let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- 2Add melted butter, beaten egg, salt, and 2 cups of bread flour to the yeast mixture. Mix until well combined.
- 3Gradually add 2 more cups of bread flour, one cup at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until a soft, slightly tacky dough forms.
- 4If needed, add remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
- 5Attach the dough hook and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- 6Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- 7Punch down the dough and divide it in half. Roll each half into a 9x13 inch rectangle.
- 8Roll up each rectangle tightly into a log, pinch seams to seal, and place in greased loaf pans, seam side down.
- 9Cover and let rise for 30-45 minutes until the dough rises over the rim of the pan.
- 10Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
- 11Remove from oven and let cool in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
