Ethiopian Honey Bread Brick Bread
Sep. 29th, 2006 06:14 pmWoohoo! I finally got it to work!
Seventh time is the charm on this one. The first time I made this the bread didn't rise much and ended up very dense but edible. The next five times it was a pleasantly scented brick. Some of those failures I attribute to old/dead yeast, others to the dough being too wet or too dry. After this success I think it was mostly insufficient yeast.
For a 1.5 pound loaf:
2 Tbsp warm water (75-85°F)
1 egg, beaten, room temperature
6 Tbsp honey (this works out to 3/8ths of a cup if you have an handy 1/8th cup measure)
4.5 oz warm milk
3.5 Tbsp butter, softened
2 tsp ground corriander
0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
0.5 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp salt
3.25 c all purpose flour
3 tsp yeast*
*The recipe originally called for 1.5 teaspoons for all machines other than Panasonic/National. With my experience I have to say just use 3 teaspoons for any machine.
[Edit: Just baked it again with 3.5 teaspoons of yeast which is perfect with this machine. It's still a fine crumb loaf but it's not as dense and is still an excellent loaf for slicing thin. :) ]
