Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon active yeast
- 5 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups lukewarm water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon caraway seed
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
Instructions
- Place all of the ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer. Use a spatula to roughly combine them. Let the mixture rest for 15 minutes.
- Attach the dough hook to the stand mixer and knead on medium for 5 minutes. Cover and let the dough rise for 60 minutes.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Punch down the dough, transfer it to the lined baking sheet, and divide it in half. Shape each half into a loaf and let them rise for another 60 minutes.
- Place a second baking sheet on the bottom rack of your oven and preheat to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
- Dust the loaves with a sprinkling of flour and use a serrated knife to make three cuts on the top of each loaf.
- Transfer the loaves on the lined baking sheet to the middle rack of the preheated oven.
- Carefully pour about a cup of water onto the hot baking sheet on the bottom rack and quickly close the oven door. Bake for 30 minutes.

Makes 2 Loaves, about 30 slices.
Storage Info:
Honey and herb bread, like most homemade breads, is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store it if needed. Once fully cooled, wrap the bread in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and keep it at room temperature where it will stay fresh for about 2 to 3 days. For longer storage, you can slice the bread and freeze it in a sealed freezer bag for up to 3 months. To retain the bread's moisture, you can also freeze whole loaves—just make sure to wrap them tightly. To reheat, place thawed or frozen slices in a toaster, or warm whole loaves in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes. If the bread is slightly stale, spritz it with water before reheating to revive the crust.
