We have all thought, "A freshly baked bread would make dinner perfect or, I should take something to that dinner party, but I don't have the time."

If you have 2 hours you can have that freshly baked bread. The recipe is simple and the bread is delicious.

2 hours after you add the yeast to the honey and water, your bread is done.

After the first rise, move dough to a heavily floured surface.

The dough will be moist, so keep adding flour to the surface as you knead.

Continue kneading until the dough is firm. [10 to 15 minutes]

Step 4 - Second Rise

Shape the dough into a ball and place it on a sheet of parchment paper.

The parchment paper aids in placing the dough into and out of the oven.

Cover and let rise for 30 minutes, while the oven heats to 400 degrees.
