- Attach the dough hook to your stand mixer. In the bowl add your water, honey, yeast, salt, and oil.

- Add enough flour into the mixer until the bread dough cleans the side of the bowl and the dough is slightly tacky.

- Once bread has finished cooking remove the bread from the pans and place on a cooling rack or some towels. Immediately rub some butter on top of the bread for a buttery crust if desired.
- Let bread cool and slice/ or bag. Store in the freezer to stay fresh.
