Both salted or unsalted butter works. I use this dairy-free butter. You can use maple syrup as well instead of honey, and you can also add a pinch of cinnamon to the glaze.This recipe can easily be cut in half, I tend to use a lot so you may have extra glaze, or you can flood the top like I do.
Soften the butter by placing it in a warm oven for a few minutes.
Add the creamy honey to the butter and blend with a fork or whisk until blended.
Cool to room temperature and pour over the top of the bread loaf using a spoon. You can put the loaf in the refrigerator to more quickly solidify the glaze.
