Ingredients

• 1.5 cups acorn flour (leached and dried)
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1.25 cups milk (or plant-based alternative)
• 1 large egg
• 2 tablespoons butter (melted)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the acorn flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, milk, egg, and melted butter until smooth.

Step 5

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or spatula until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Transfer the dough into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly with the back of a spoon or spatula.

Step 7

Bake the bread in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

Step 9

Carefully transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Enjoy your acorn bread plain, with butter, or alongside soups and stews!
