Ships Bread

Bread doesn’t get more elemental than this. Flour, water, yeast, honey, and salt. That’s your entire ingredient list. Dump everything into the bread machine, press start, and walk away.

Ships bread is a nod to the simple loaves that kept sailors fed on long voyages. No butter, no eggs, no milk. Just the basics baked into a sturdy, honest loaf with a soft crumb and a hint of sweetness from the honey.

It’s the bread you make when you realize you’re out of bread and need a loaf by dinnertime without a trip to the store.

Kitchen Tips

• Add ingredients in the order your bread machine manual recommends (usually liquids first)
• The honey feeds the yeast and adds a subtle sweetness to the crust
• For a crustier loaf, remove it from the machine immediately after baking
• This dough also works kneaded by hand and baked in a conventional oven if you don’t have a bread machine
