Ingredients:

Directions:
- In a large bowl, whisk together warm water and honey until honey is dissolved.

Recipe's Story:
My Grandma Violet made fresh bread on a daily basis. Nothing is better than having a slice of warm homemade bread. This isn’t my grandma’s recipe, but I wanted to honor her with a recipe that I found to be so wonderful and easy for anyone new to baking bread.
