buttermilk honey wheat bread
ervan and I went to the Redwood City Farmer's market on Saturday to visit the honey man. We bought a huge bottle of our favorite honey (we bought last year from him as well) - his sage honey and two smaller bottles of his orange and wild flower honey.
of course, with this new wealth of honey, I was eager to use it in some recipes... so I baked up some Buttermilk honey wheat bread. see recipe here.
as per the comments in the reviews on that forum, I added 1 extra cup of whole wheat flour.
The bread was sweetish and dense. I liked it. This first loaf didn't rise all the way in the amount of time it said to bake (plus ervan was in a hurry to leave, so I got it out of the oven as fast as I could). So I would probably leave my loaf in for another 5 minutes next time.
I also need to by some bread flour. I currently used the recipe's proposed all-purposed flour, but I hear bread flour has a lot more protein, and will help the dough rise better.
Next time, I may double the honey required as well to make it sweeter.
Overall, I liked the loaf, and plan to make it again with better flour and a little more wisdom :)
here are a couple more recipes that scored well for honey wheat bread that I may try:
