Friday Feast | Honey Wheat Bread
Welcome to Friday Feast in the Tavern! First, my apologies for being absent last Friday. Not only was I celebrating a birthday (April 15th), but also, I was deep in the writing cave working on the galley for RORIK, The Wolves of Clan Sutherland, Book 2! I am so, so close to calling it a wrap. And wait until you see the cover, my friends. Oh. My. Goodness!
Now before you start asking me a longship full of questions, I promise to have more news regarding Rorik's story soon.
For today's recipe, I started to think back on the Vikings and their bread recipes. As you know from my past posts, honey was used in place of sugar. And since I love honey, I pulled out one of my favorite recipes and made a batch of bread. Yet it was gone by morning and this author forgot to take a picture before my knight descended on the loaf.
Here's the link for the Viking Bread recipe I posted last year. Click here to visit the page.
