Nothing beats homemade bread -the aroma of fresh bread filling the kitchen, the warmth of the oven heating up the house and the memorable taste. I remember, as a teenager, making several trips to my neighborhood corner stores – walking tirelessly as far as a mile in search of sweet bread. Well, maybe that is a bit of walking to do, but to me, it was worth it!
I started baking, this decadent bread, a couple of years ago and ever since then, I have never bought sweet bread at the grocery store again. They are enjoyable to make because you can make them in different shapes or just bake them in a bread pan. With a mixer or food processor, they are a breeze to make. If you do not have a Stand mixer or food processor, a little elbow grease will do just fine. I sometimes make it without one, and it turns out great!
These honeyed rolls are an embodiment of slightly -crusted, golden – crumbed American rolls; they are pillowy soft and modestly sweet with a delicate rich flavor. They are also a perfect accompaniment to a light meal or for breakfast. My son would eat this all day if I let him. This recipe is inspired by the Milk Bread recipe in Joy of Cooking. I made a few minor modifications, such as including honey, adding more butter, but overall it is the same thing.
