Time 3h40m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 ¾ cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
½ cup honey
2 tablespoons active dry yeast
⅓ cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon salt
6 cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Stir warm water and honey together in a bowl until honey dissolves. Sprinkle yeast over water mixture and let stand until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir oil and salt into yeast mixture. Mix 3 cups of flour into yeast mixture until no dry spots remain. Stir in remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition, until dough is no longer sticky and pulls together. Continue kneading for 5 minutes in a stand mixer or 10 minutes by hand.
  • Place dough in a large, lightly-oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover bowl with a towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  • Punch down dough and let rise again until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes.
  • Grease three 9x5-inch loaf pans.
  • Punch down dough and turn onto a lightly floured surface. Form dough into 3 loaves and place into prepared pans. Cover loaves with a damp cloth and let rise until dough is about 1 inch above the sides of the loaf pans, about 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bake in preheated oven until tops are golden brown and the bottoms of loaves sound hollow when tapped, about 40 minutes. Remove loaves from pans and transfer to a cooling rack.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the pecans for chocolate chips. The bread still turned out great!

This recipe is missing some key ingredients. I had to add baking powder and salt to make it work.

I followed the recipe exactly and the bread turned out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.
