90 Minute Bread & Cinnamon Swirl Bread

90 Minute Bread

2 cups warm water

2 TB active dry yeast

2 tsp salt

1/3 cup honey

2 TB oil

4 ½ cups flour (white or wheat or combination of both)

Dissolve yeast in 1 cup warm water. Add 1 more cup of water, honey, oil, salt and 3 ½ cups flour. Mix ingredients together, adding more flour as needed to make a soft, but not sticky dough.

When dough is soft and pulls away from the side of the bowl, divide into 2 pieces. Let stand 15 minutes in a warm place, covered with a towel.

Pound each piece of dough with a rolling pin for 1 minute on floured board. Form dough into 2 loaves and put in greased loaf pans.

Let stand in a warm place for 30 minutes (60+ minutes if using wheat flour), or until doubled in bulk.

Bake 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees.
