πŸ₯˜ Ingredients:

  • 6 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • Β½ cup milk
  • Β½ cup bread flour (or all-purpose flour, sifted)
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³ Instructions:

1. Prepare

  • Preheat oven to 160Β°C (320Β°F)
  • Line a loaf pan with parchment paper (leave extra paper hanging for easy removal)

2. Warm Eggs & Sugar

  • Place eggs and sugar in a bowl over warm water
  • Whisk until slightly warm (this helps create volume)

3. Whip the Batter

  • Beat with a mixer for 8–10 minutes until thick, pale, and fluffy
  • When you lift the whisk, it should form ribbons

4. Add Honey & Milk

  • Mix honey with warm milk
  • Gently fold into the batter

5. Add Flour

  • Sift flour into the batter
  • Fold gently to keep the air inside (don’t overmix!)

6. Add Oil

  • Mix a small portion of batter with oil first
  • Then fold it back into the main batter (keeps it fluffy)

7. Bake (Water Bath Method)

  • Pour into pan and tap to remove air bubbles
  • Place pan in a larger tray with hot water (water bath)
  • Bake for 50–60 minutes

8. Cool Properly

  • Remove from pan and wrap while warm
  • Let it rest for a few hours (or overnight) for best texture
