Comments
I cooked at 180 for 30 minutes.
This was delicious!! As per the comment below I also added a packet of yeast to assist with the rise. It rose beautifully (2.5hrs + 6hrs proofing time) and tasted amazing. Thank you for sharing the recipe.
Dishwood, if you read the recipe, you'll find instrucions for baking in the Honey Almond Topping section.

This was amazing! My husband has been telling me about bee stings for ages as he used to have them as a trest when he was young. He reckons this was better than he remembers!
Thnaks for for the recipe
I've made this twice now and everybody loves it. It does take while to make. So start the night before and will be ready to cook in the morning. I used 2 sachets of yeast. It's well worth the effort. Thanks for posting
I was a bit sceptical about making this recipe given that there were a few reviews saying it didn't work out but it turned better than I could have imagined. It was absolutely delicious. I did a few little things differently:
- I nearly doubled the yeast. Lots of people had problems with their dough rising and the batch of yeast I have (tandaco dried sachets) hasn't been rising much in pizza dough etc so i used a whole sachet.
- I used plain flour only as I didn't have bread flour handy
- I used normal white sugar instead of raw and caster. I didn't bother milling it either.
- I let it sit for 2.5 hours on the first rise where it doubled in size, and 7 hours in the fridge.
- I didn't flatten it out an hour before it went in the oven, I just let it rise the extra time.
- I cooked it for an extra ten minutes as some people had said theirs was doughy. This was fine but I don't think it really needed it. I might give it five minutes extra next time.
As it turned out, the dough rose so much that the caramel dripped out and onto the bottom of the oven, so I'll put a pan under it next time. I'm happy with how light it was and it didn't have a yeasty taste so I'll use the same amount of yeast next time too.
Thanks for the great recipe! It really wasn't much work, just a lot of planning for time etc
Fantastic recipe had always enjoyed bought beestings and thought I woul try this one what a sucess rose so high, friends still raving a week later. Only negative partly my fault for not rading recipe properly was that it was not immediately evident the amount of standing time that was required, I will be better prepared next time.
I made it the one time, it was very heavy, like two day old bread. I will make it again but with just plain flour and hope for a better result.

I was disappointed. I made this twice, just in case I got something wrong the first time. The dough was dense both times. I only made the custard once, but something about it wasn't quite right. The topping was good.
