Method
 

Bread
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm water, honey, and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add flour, salt, and olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Shape the dough into a loaf and place it on a baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Let cool before slicing.
Pancakes
  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In another bowl, combine milk, egg, and melted butter. Mix well.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat and grease lightly. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake.
  5. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook until golden brown.
  6. Serve warm with syrup or fruit.
Pasta
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add eggs.
  2. Using a fork, gradually incorporate the flour into the eggs until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic and let rest for 30 minutes.
  4. Roll out the dough using a rolling pin or pasta maker to your desired thickness.
  5. Cut into desired shapes and cook in boiling salted water for 2-4 minutes until al dente.
