Yes, you can substitute honey for sugar, but there are some rules of thumb.

# It can be a direct replacement up to one cup. For more than one cup, use less honey since honey is sweeter than sugar. # You'll need to decrease the other liquid. # You might need to add baking soda, since honey is acidic. # You might need to lower baking temperature or time.

Not sure why, but Honey can help. They say that milk can cause a sweeter taste.

More information:

Many yeast bread recipes, including those for bread machines, call for a small about of sugar. The yeast digests sugar, producing gas which causes the bread to rise. For this reason, artificial sweeteners are not recommended for bread. The amount of sugar in yeast bread is relatively small, often a tablespoon or two for one or two loaves. Replacing that amount would have minimal affect on either calorie count or glycemic levels.

Although honey may be used in place of sugar in bread, it may cause the bread to brown faster. However, less honey can be used, which would reduce the calories very slightly.

Yes you can, but you'll lose some flavors that way so the result will be slightly different.

I use honey instead of sugar to make corn bread. I also put it spaghetti sauce, fruit bowls, and coffee, and oatmeal. You can use it to make a great syrup for canning fruit. You can also use the various brands of prepared stevia crystals.
