Covenstead Bread

Covenstead Bread

Ingrediants:

3/4 cup Water

1/2 cup Honey

1/2 cup finely chopped Citron

1/2 cup Sugar

2 tablespoons Anise Seeds

2 1/3 cups Flour

1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda

1 teaspoon Nutmeg

1 teaspoon Cinnamon

1 teaspoon Allspice



Directions:
Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan.

Add honey, citron, sugar, anise seeds.

Stir until the sugar completely dissolves and then remove from heat.

Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, and spices, and fold into the hot honey mixture.

Turn the batter into a well-greased 9 X 5 X 3-inch loaf pan and bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for one hour.

Turn out on a wire rack to cool.

This recipe yields one loaf of bread, and improves in taste if allowed to stand for 24 hours.
