  • Combine the cooled syrup and warm water into the flour mixture until soft and sticky.
  • Knead the mixture gently on a floured surface for a few minutes.
  • Divide dough into two greased 450g tins and let rise for two hours under loose plastic bags.

  • Brush the tops with warm honey and cool on a wire rack.
  • Slice the loaf and serve with butter.
