Honey loaf: Enjoy a sweet slice of goodness with your tea

There are so many types of baked goods. They range from pastries, to cakes and all of them started with bread. However, there are thousands of types of bread out there and we want you to try them all. Breads like our honey loaf recipe is a sweeter style of bread that only takes 10 minutes to prepare before baking. It’s great for breakfast with a slice of cheese in the morning with a cup of tea.

Honey loaf suggestions

The dough is very easy to put together and if you don’t have candied orange peel, use a few grates of lemon zest. You can even add some crushed nuts or even finely chopped honeycomb instead. When the loaf comes out of the oven, immediately brush it with some butter or some warm honey for a glossy finish if you don’t want more powdered sugar. Enjoy with some butter and cheese or even as French toast.
