Honey Rye Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Place honey, molasses, salt, butter, caraway, (if using) and boiling water in small bowl. Stir until honey dissolves. Cool to lukewarm.
• 2. Dissolve yeast in warm water in warmed mixer bowl. Add lukewarm honey mixture, rye flour and 1 cup AP flour. Attach bowl and dough hook to mixer. Turn to speed 2 and mix about 1 minute. Stop and scrape bowl, if necessary. (Never go above speed 2 when making bread dough.)
• 3. Continue on speed 2, adding remaining AP flour 1/2 cup at a time until dough clings to hook and cleans sides of bowl or about 2 minutes. Knead on speed 2 for 2 minutes longer. **From KitchenAid: "Some doughs may occasionally climb over the collar of the hook. This usually indicates that the dough is sticky and more flour should be added."
• 4. Place dough in greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover with sprayed saran wrap. Let rise in warm place, free from drafts, for about 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk.
• 5. Punch dough down and divide in half. Shape each half into a round loaf. Place on greased baking sheet. Cover. Let rise in warm place free from drafts, 45-60 minutes, or until doubled in bulk.
• 6. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes. (Mine didn't take this long.) Cover loaves with aluminum foil if they are browning to quickly. Remove from baking sheets immediately and cool completely on wire racks. Brush tops with melted butter. *See my hint at top about cooling when just warm to the touch in loose foil. It retains moisture.

Steps:

• 1) Add ingredients to your bread machine in the order the manufacturer recommends.
• 2) Select basic setting, 1.5 pound loaf size and medium crust, then let tell it to start.
• 3) Check toward the end of the mixing cycle, scrape down the sides of the bowl with a plastic or silicon spatula to mix in any remaining flour. If it seems too dry add a bit of water. if it seems too wet, add a bit of flour.

Steps:

• Take out your butter to let it soften, or pop it in the microwave for 10-20 seconds for quick softening.
• Spread the butter over the slice of bread.
• Sprinkle the cinnamon over the buttered bread.
• Add the desired amount of honey on it, then use a knife to spread the honey and cinnamon together on the bread.
• Put it on a microwave safe plate and pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds to a minute. Allow it to cool slightly before eating.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 275 F and grease& flour a square 8"x8" cake tin.
• Using a mixer on low speed, beat together all ingredients until well mixed, scraping down sides of the bowl as needed.
• Scrape into the pan and bake for about 75 minutes, or until a toothpick tests clean.
• Let cool completely in the pan.
• Cut into 14 small slices.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Generously grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with oil.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the 1 1/2 cups of oil, the eggs, sugar, honey, coffee, and orange zest. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves.
• Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the egg mixture, then stir with a fork or a whisk until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until set in the middle-the cake should hold firm when lightly pressed on top. Be careful not to leave it in the oven for too long or it will dry out.
• Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes-1 hour for a Bundt cake (see note)-before very carefully inverting it and removing the pan. Slice and serve with fresh fruit and tea.
