Description: Local honey combined with local beer makes a super good bread. You don’t have to be a baker to make delicious bread with this recipe. Just a few simple ingredients is all you need to make this bread. Make this bread even better with Made in Oklahoma Hiland Butter. A couple of tablespoons goes into the recipe, and we like to add a little extra softened butter to warm slices of this bread. A drizzle of honey on the baked bread is great, too.
