Main Ingredients- 120g Uncut Bread (thick-sliced preferred)
- 50g Honey
- 30g Butter
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gather your ingredients for the Honey Bread: the bread, butter, and honey. Using fresh, quality ingredients will significantly enhance the final taste.
Step 2
Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Lightly sauté them in a pan with a drizzle of olive oil over medium-low heat until they soften slightly. This process will bring out their natural sweetness and add a wonderful aroma.
Step 3
Take your uncut, thick-sliced bread and cut it into portions approximately 5-6 cm high. Ensuring a good thickness will help the bread hold its shape better during baking.
Step 4
Lay the bread slices on their sides. Using a knife, carefully score the bread about 1 cm from the edge, making cuts about 3 cm deep. Create a criss-cross ‘X’ pattern in the center. These cuts will allow the honey to soak in beautifully. Be gentle to avoid crumbling the bread.
Step 5
Generously pour the sweet honey into the cuts you’ve made in the bread. Allow the honey to slowly seep into the bread.
Step 6
Thinly slice the butter and carefully tuck the slices into the honey-filled cuts, ensuring they fill the spaces. The butter will melt and add a rich, savory flavor.
Step 7
Place the prepared Honey Bread into a preheated oven. A temperature of around 180°C (350°F) is ideal. Adjust the baking time based on the thickness of your bread.
Step 8
Keep an eye on the bread as it bakes, checking periodically to ensure it doesn’t burn. You’ll see it start to puff up and turn a lovely golden brown.
Step 9
Once the bread is evenly golden and looks deliciously baked, carefully remove it from the oven. Arrange the pre-sautéed cherry tomatoes on top of the bread. For an extra touch of color and aroma, lightly sprinkle with parsley flakes if desired. Your cafe-style Honey Bread is ready to be enjoyed warm!
