【Honeycomb Bread】
by MaomaoMom
One of MaomaoMom’s website visitors has asked me to make this supper soft honeycomb bread. I combined a few recipes and made some modifications to come out with this recipe. The bread is so soft, light and puffy, just like cotton balls. You’ve got to try this. I’m sure that you will fall in love with it.
