Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Traditional Honey Bread (Piernik).
Step 1
To start your delicious baking adventure, grab a large mixing bowl and combine the sugar, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground allspice, and eggs.
Step 2
Give it a good mix until everything is well blended.
Step 3
Next, pour in the milk and vegetable oil, stirring until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Now, sprinkle in the baking soda and mix until it’s fully incorporated, adding a little lift to your batter.
Step 5
In a small saucepan, gently heat the honey over medium heat until it starts to bubble softly.
Step 6
Be careful as you pour the warm honey into your mixing bowl, and stir it in to create a lovely, sweet blend.
Step 7
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, mixing until a thick batter forms.
Step 8
If you’re feeling adventurous, fold in some raisins and chopped walnuts for a delightful crunch and extra flavor.
Step 9
Now, it’s time to get your hands in there! Using a sturdy spoon, mix the batter by hand for about 10 minutes.
Step 10
This step is crucial for ensuring all the ingredients come together beautifully.
Step 11
Once you’ve mixed it well, let the dough rest for an hour to rise and develop its flavors.
Step 12
While your dough is resting, preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Step 13
Prepare four 8x4 inch loaf pans by lightly greasing them to prevent any sticking.
Step 14
When the hour is up, divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans, filling each one about two inches high.
Step 15
Pop the pans into your preheated oven and bake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Step 16
You’ll know your bread is ready when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, and the tops are beautifully golden brown with a charming cracked appearance.
Step 17
Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen as you await your delicious creation!.
