Preheat oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/circulating air: 175 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Melt 3 tablespoons of butter at low heat. Mix flour, sugar, baking soda, spices, liquid butter, honey, 100 ml water and egg yolk with the whisks of the mixer for 2-3 minutes.
Grease a box form (25 x 11 cm, approx. 1.5 l capacity) and distribute the dough evenly in it. Bake in a hot oven for 30-35 minutes. Cover with aluminium foil after about 20 minutes.
Turn out the bread from the mould. Leave to cool on a cake rack for about 2 hours. Keeps for about 1 week wrapped in aluminium foil.
