Name: Milk N Honey Bread
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 60 min
Total time: 1 h 10 min
Yield: 1 loaf (16 slices).
Ingredients: 1 cup milk; 2/3 cup honey; 1/4 cup butter, cubed; 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour; 1 cup whole wheat flour; 1/2 cup toasted wheat germ; 1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted, optional; 1 tablespoon baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon salt

"When you cut into this wholesome-tasting bread, you can hardly believe it's not a yeast bread," assures Wendy Skipper of Cornelius, Oregon. "It's best warm from the oven...however, leftovers are also great toasted the next day."

Ingredients

1 cup milk
2/3 cup honey
1/4 cup butter, cubed
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup toasted wheat germ
1/2 cup chopped walnuts, toasted, optional
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

In a saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, combine milk, honey and butter. Heat just until the butter is melted. Cool for 10 minutes. In a bowl, combine the remaining ingredients; stir in milk mixture just until combined. Pour into a greased 9x5-in. loaf pan. Bake at 325° for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm.

For those days when you don't have time to make a yeast bread, this bread is a fine substitute. It is flavorful and has a good texture. I definitely would make this again.
