Instructions
I need this in my life...
Pour the warm water and honey into a large bowl. Stir in the yeast and rose water.
Slowly mix in the flour and salt and knead together until it becomes a rough mound. You can do this by hand or use a stand mixer.
Ah, kneading (the dough) is a great stress-reliever, especially when it’s stress you didn’t know you had.
Continue to knead the dough for 5 minutes, on a floured surface, adding more flour as needed, until it appears smooth and well incorporated.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap and a towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 40 minutes.
The process isn’t complicated, thankfully.
Put parchment paper inside a loaf pan. Set aside.
Press the dough into the prepared loaf pan.
Allow the bread dough to rise in the pan, uncovered, in a warm place for 40 minutes.
I think I’ll dream up what to put on this bread once it’s done...maybe butter? Jam?
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Drop the oven temperature to 375°F then bake the bread for 30 minutes on the lowest rack in the oven.
Let the bread cool in the loaf pan for 15 minutes before moving it to a cooling rack. Wait to slice into it until it reaches room temperature.
This bread is unconventional, but it tastes beautiful...hmmm, fancy that!?
