If you don't really care about the shape of the loaf, then you might not need a loaf pan at all. I wouldn't add honey at random intervals. I would add it at the beginning so that I could see how active it makes the yeast. Basically, that's food for the yeast. Also, if you want easy, then you might check out some "no knead" recipes (like for baguettes or ciabatta), or even something like soda bread or beer bread recipes. Be aware that the different flours are not interchangeable! If it says AP and all you have is bread or cake flour, look up the conversions first! Remember that baking is chemistry, so if a recipe is very precise, it's best to stick to it until you have an idea of what you're doing.
