The recipe says honey, does it work?

The answer is definitely: YES. But it is important to remember the following:

-  When you substitute sugar with honey you have to remember that 20 % of
   the weight of honey is water. Therefore you have to make a slight
   adjustment of the quantity of liquid.

-  Honey preserves pastries and bread longer.
   It also strengthens the juiciness longer by tying water.

-  You will find taste sensations when honey is substitutes for sugar.

-  It is important to feel one’s way
