Ethiopian Honey Bread Recipe

As the name suggests, this bread has its origins in Ethiopia.  It is typically served as bread rolls.  The reason for this is related to a style of eating across the Middle-east and Africa.  Foods based on beans, rice, vegetables and seasonings were often served on a large platter and people would tear off a piece of bread and use their fingers to squeeze the bread around the rice and bean mixture.  Honey gave it sweetness to offset the heavily spiced main dishes, but this bread is no slouch when it comes to spices.  Traditional pie spices like cinnamon, cloves and coriander give accent the sweetness of the honey. 

The idea of this recipe is to use your bread machine to make the dough and then cut and shape into small, roll sizes and finish in the oven.  You would use the dough setting on your machine to make the basic dough and then divide the dough ball into 12 to 16 pieces on a floured surface. 

You can try this style of eating if you like, but they make great dinner rolls with any fragrant or spiced dish.  It’s also a great bread to dip into soups, gravies or sauces.
