This is one of those recipes you will either love or hate. We make this bread every year at Christmas time, and it never lasts very long!! We love it warm with butter or peanut butter. This recipe makes a lot of bread, and I am not sure what would happen if you tried to halve the recipe.

My friend showed me this recipe. It has such a floral, delicate taste! The only thing I changed from her recipe was using bread flour instead of all-purpose flour. My favorite bread recipe! Best served with unsalted butter and fresh honey.
