1 cube yeast, fresh
1 5/8 cups water, lukewarm
3 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup almonds -- chopped

Mix together the flour. Spread salt on the border of the flour and the
yeast in the middle. Dissolve with little water and honey, spread with some
of the flour. Cover bowl with a kitchentowel and let rise on a warm place
for about 15 minutes.
Dissolve the remaining honey in the water and add the mixture step by step

Knead the dough strongly and build two round breads. Sprinkle a baking tray
with flour and place the breads on it. Cover again with the kitchen towel
and rise another 30 minutes.
In a preheated oven at 430F bake the bread for 15 minutes, then reduce the
heat to 350 °F and bake another 20-25 minutes. Set on a wire netting and
let cool.
