In a stand mixer, combine the water, yeast, salt, butter, all-purpose flour, and honey.
Mix the ingredients in the stand mixer on medium fast for about 30 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and well combined.
Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise for approximately 35 minutes.
While the dough is rising, butter two loaf pans.
Once the dough has risen, divide it into two equal parts.
Shape each portion of dough into a loaf shape and place them into the prepared loaf pans.
Let the dough rise in the pans until it doubles in size. Cover them again with a damp cloth or plastic wrap so they don't form a skin.
Let them rise for about 20-30 minutes, depending on the room temperature. They should be peaking over the top of the pan.
Preheat your oven to 375°C (190°F).
Bake the loaves in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes or until they turn a beautiful golden brown color.
Once the loaves are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Bread Cubes for Stuffing
To make the bread cubes for stuffing allow the bread to cool and set for at least a couple hours, but preferably overnight. This will make them easier to cut through. Slice into about a 1 inch dice and let sit out without being covered, in a single layer, for a day or two or until totally dry.
Bread Crumbs
Take the dried bread cubes and pulse in a food processor until fine.
Notes
This recipe makes 2 loaves but can easily be cut in half if you'd only like to make one.
