Directions
- 1Add yeast, two cups of warm water (between 105 and 115 degrees Fahrenheit), and a little bit of honey (or sugar) to a mixing bowl.
- 2Mix the yeast, water, and honey, and let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until it becomes foamy (proving the yeast).
- 3Add the remaining honey, salt, and canola oil to the liquid mixture.
- 4Add three cups of all-purpose flour to the liquid mixture and combine.
- 5Transfer the mixture to a stand mixer with a dough hook and mix on speed 2.
- 6Gradually add the remaining flour (two cups) to the mixer, a half cup at a time.
- 7Mix on medium speed for 4 to 5 minutes, scraping down the sides as needed, until the dough collects into a ball.
- 8Lightly oil a bowl, place the dough in it, and cover with a cloth.
- 9Let the dough prove for 2-3 hours in a warm, dry place until it doubles in size.
- 10Punch the dough down to release the air.
- 11Grease the bottom and sides of two loaf pans.
- 12Cut the dough in half.
- 13Shape each half of the dough into long loaves and place them into the prepared loaf pans.
- 14Take two pieces of plastic wrap, spray them lightly with cooking spray, and lay them gently over the dough in the pans.
- 15Allow the dough to have a second rise for about an hour.
- 16Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 17Bake the loaves for 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
- 18Brush the tops of the baked loaves with a little melted butter.
- 19Let the bread cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing.

Tips
- Ensure your yeast is active by checking for foam after mixing with warm water and a little honey/sugar. If it doesn't foam, discard and start again.
- Let the dough prove in a warm, dry place. The video suggests 3 hours, even though the recipe calls for 2 hours.
- Spray plastic wrap lightly with cooking spray before covering the dough for the second rise to prevent sticking.
- Brush the baked loaves with melted butter immediately after removing from the oven for a nice finish.
