Grandma's Homemade Bread

My grandma makes the best homemade bread! Hands down. I have so many fond memories of going to my grandma's house and being welcomed with the fresh aroma of bread baking in the oven. It's hard to beat: fresh, homemade bread. And this recipe is really pretty simple and quick for a bread recipe. It requires only 6 ingredients and can be ready from start to finish in a little over 2 hours (including rising and cooking time)!

1) Heat up water in microwave until it is warm, approximately 35 seconds.

2) Stir in honey and yeast into warm water. Then add the oil and salt.
