I am not a bread baker. It's not my strength. However, my second attempt at this recipe turned out almost perfect. I say almost because you'll notice the large hole in the center. Luckily, once it was slathered in honey butter, you didn't even notice that little hole.
Honey Wheat Bread
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 T sugar
2 1/4 t yeast
2 T melted butter
1/2 c honey
1 T cocoa
2 t instant coffee
1 t salt
2 c whole wheat bread flour
2 c bread flour
cornmeal, for dusting top
Proof yeast in water with sugar. Wait 15 minutes until yeast is foamy and active. Add all ingredients except flour and cornmeal to stand mixer. Turn on low and add flour. Allow to mix and turn mixer to medium-high, allowing dough to knead for 10 minutes. Place dough in greased bowl and wait 1 hour, allowing dough to double in size. Once doubled, flatten dough into rectangle and shape into loaf. Place in loaf pan, sprinkle with cornmeal and allow to rise.
Bake at 375F (190C) for 40-45 minutes for large loaf or 30 minutes for smaller. Serve with warm whipped honey butter.

On my last trip to Selfridges, I stumbled across a new concession freshly arrived from France. Mariage Frères has been specialising in tea for over 130 years and carries over 500 varieties.
The selection is amazing and I really never knew tea could smell quite so good. In addition to pre-made tins, you can even make your own blend right on the spot.
Even my very English husband has been enjoying the fine French tea instead of his usual cuppa.
Best of all, it's reasonably priced and packaged nice enough to make the perfect gift.
Why not treat yourself or someone you love?
