In a separate bowl, combine the warm water, molasses, honey, and yeast, mixing together. Let the yeast activate in the mixture for 10 minutes.

Expert Tips and Tricks

If the dough seems too sticky add a little flour until you reach the desired consistency.
If the dough is crumbly or dry add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until the dough is the right texture.
No molasses? Try using an equal amount of corn syrup instead. This will make the bread sweeter but should do the trick.
