Dissolve honey in this mixture and let sit for a few minutes; then add 2 cups of the flour and beat with a wooden spoon until smooth. Cover and set in a warm place to rise for about 1 hour until light and foamy. Mix salt and oil into batter. (over) 20 Card 1 Back: Add flour a little at a time and mix until stiff and easy to handle. Place dough on a lightly floured board and begin kneading. Knead for 20 minutes or so, adding more flour a little at a time until smooth, elastic, and not sticky. The exact quantity of flour will vary slightly each time; this, as well as the proper consistency of the kneaded dough will be learned with experience. When kneading is complete, dough should be springy enough to almost resume shape when pressed in lightly with finger. Shape into loaf, and place in a lightly oiled standard size bread pan (about 9 x 5 x 3 inches). Cover and set in a warm place to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
