butter

💰Cheaper: soy milk

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey provides natural sweetness with a unique flavor.

flour

🥗Healthier: whole wheat flour

💰Cheaper: all-purpose flour

Whole wheat flour increases fiber content.

Warm milk in a saucepan until just below boiling.

Melt butter in the warm milk and stir until combined.

Dissolve sugar and yeast in the milk mixture and let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, nutmeg, and cardamom.

Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the yeast mixture, eggs, and vanilla extract.

Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf.

Place the loaf in a greased baking pan and let it rise again for 30 minutes.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.

Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack before slicing.
