From Soot's oven · Pull-apart honey butter loaf
Long Hall Supper Bread
For the night the whole hill eats at one table. No kneading, no waiting about — just a loaf built to be torn into by many hands at once.
Serves 8–10 · 40 minutes
You'll need
- •2 tubes refrigerated biscuit dough (or 16 small dough balls)
- •1/3 cup melted butter
- •2 tablespoons honey
- •1 teaspoon dried herbs, or cinnamon for a sweet loaf
- •A pinch of flaky salt
How to make it
- 1
Warm the oven to 350°F (175°C) and butter a loaf tin.
- 2
Stir the melted butter, honey and herbs together in a wide bowl.
- 3
Roll each piece of dough in the honey butter until it shines.
- 4
Stand the pieces up in the tin, loosely, like a row of little doors.
- 5
Pour any leftover butter over the top and scatter the salt.
- 6
Bake 28–32 minutes, until deep gold. Turn out and let everyone pull off their own piece.
Pip's job: rolling each piece in the honey butter and standing them in the tin.
Grown-up job: the oven, and turning the hot tin out.
"One loaf. Sixteen pieces. Nobody has to ask for a slice." — Soot
