How to Make Ethiopian Honey Yeast Bread

  1. In a large bowl, combine lukewarm water, sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add honey, oil, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir well to combine.
  3. Gradually add flour, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  5. Punch down the dough to release the air. Shape the dough into a round loaf or smaller rolls.
  6. Place the shaped dough in a greased baking pan or on a baking sheet. Cover and let rise for another 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  8. Bake for 60-80 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200°F (93°C).
  9. Let the bread cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
