To celebrate and call attention to the importance of honey as a natural sweetener and the essential role honeybees play as pollinators, we\u2019re featuring our favorite products baked with honey all month long. At Macrina, we are proud to partner with the National Honey Board and showcase the many baked goods we make with honey, whose complex caramel sweetness adds a roundness of flavor compared to the narrower flavor profile of sugar.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.macrinabakery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/logo-nhb.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4029\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.macrinabakery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/logo-nhb.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"939\" height=\"489\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One of our most popular honey-sweetened products is our Vollkorn Loaf. This moist, hearty loaf is a German-style, full-grain bread blended with a six-grain cereal, toasted sunflower and pumpkin seeds. A locally grown organic rye and a beer starter add a pleasantly sour flavor. Honey and molasses lend balance.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.macrinabakery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Volkorn_horiz_Torn.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4030\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.macrinabakery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Volkorn_horiz_Torn.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"475\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In our caf\u00e9s, we use honey to sweeten our Greek yogurt and layer it with our house-made berry compote. This creates the perfect nutritious fresh-tasting parfait.<\/p>\n<p>Later in September, we will be showcasing our Challah Crowns, both plain and with raisins, to celebrate Rosh Hashanah (September 18\u201320) and Yom Kippur (September 27\u2013 28). Our Challah is traditional egg bread in the European Jewish tradition. Honey sweetened, this braided loaf has a firm crust a burnished golden mahogany color. The soft, tight crumb pulls apart easily.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.macrinabakery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/challah_raisin_2019_small.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4031\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.macrinabakery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/challah_raisin_2019_small.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"501\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another loaf sweetened that we sweeten with honey is our Whole Wheat Cider pan loaf. It\u2019s excellent texture and flavor make this one of our most popular pan loaves. Apple cider and honey enhance the mild nutty flavor of Shepherd&#8217;s Grain whole wheat flour, cracked wheat berries and toasted sesame seeds.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.macrinabakery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/cider_bread_sliced_horiz.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4032\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.macrinabakery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/cider_bread_sliced_horiz.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>These are just a few products we are showcasing, but we have many other recipes that include honey.
