Honey is high in fructose, which readily absorbs water in the air.
Therefore, honey products tend to be more moist and keep longer. This is especially true for breads made in a bread machine. When baking, you can substitute sugar with equal amounts of honey. You will need to reduce the oven temperature by 25 F , as baked foods containing honey generally brown more quickly, again due to the high fructose content. Honey keeps almost indefinitely.
