HONEY WHITE BREAD
Honey is a great favorite in breadmaking—for good reason. It is a natural sweetener
with up to 80 percent of its weight composed of sugar. “The land of milk and honey”
was what the promised land was called in the Old Testament, and today honey, a mira-
cle in a jar, certainly still connotes luxury. Since honey is collected mainly from legu-
minous plants, look for familiar clover, sage, eucalyptus, tupelo, or buckwheat honeys.
I like to search out nice local honeys to use in my breads, such as star thistle honey
from Sonoma County, or cherry honey from the fruit stand down the road.
