Honey adds natural sweetness with a unique flavor.

Add 1/4 cup warm water to a bowl.

Add 1 teaspoon sugar to the water.

Add 1 packet of active dry yeast and stir.

Let the mixture set for about 5 minutes until it bubbles and activates.

Add 3 cups of all-purpose flour to the bowl.

Add 1 1/4 teaspoons of salt to the flour.

Add 1 cup of warm water and stir until it forms a dough.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Form the dough into a ball and place it in a large glass bowl coated with cooking spray.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm spot for about 45 minutes or until doubled in size.

Punch down the dough and cover it again to rise for another 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, punch the dough down again and cover for an additional 10 minutes.

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and roll it into a 14 by 7 rectangle.

Roll the dough up from the short end to form a loaf.

Place the rolled dough seam-side down into a loaf pan coated with cooking spray.

Cover the loaf pan and let it rise for 30 more minutes.

Preheat the oven to bake the bread.

Bake the bread until done, then let it cool slightly before slicing.
