Buttermilk bread is a classic Southern comfort food that is perfect for any occasion. With its tender crumb and slightly tangy flavor, buttermilk bread is a great choice for sandwiches, toast, or simply slathered with butter. The buttermilk in the recipe adds a subtle tanginess and helps to keep the bread moist and flavorful. Additionally, the buttermilk reacts with the baking soda to create a light and fluffy texture. This versatile bread can be made with a variety of different ingredients, so you can customize it to your own taste.

Steps:
- Combine buttermilk, butter, and sugar in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients, including yeast. Whisk dry ingredients together to combine, then add to buttermilk mixture in the mixing bowl. (I use a Kitchenaid Mixer.) Mix ingredients until well combined. I like about a quarter sized amount of dough to be sticking on the very bottom. If your dough looks a bit dry, add in another splash of buttermilk. Once you've achieved a good consistency, mix the dough on low for about 6-7 minutes. (Or knead by hand about 10 minutes.) Proper kneading is critical to great textured homemade bread!
- Once dough is done kneading, cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour; until dough has doubled in size.
- Punch dough down and knead several times. Shape dough (I like to roll mine, then tuck the ends under) and place in a greased bread loaf pan. Place dough back in the warm spot and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake dough for about 30-35 minutes- until top is golden brown. Let cool and slice.
- *You can substitute regular milk + lemon juice for buttermilk, but you won't quite get the full texture and flavor of this bread. So add buttermilk to the grocery list; you'll love it!

FAVORITE BUTTERMILK BREAD
"Crusty on the outside and tender on the inside, this bread is my family's all-time favorite," reports Michele Surgeon of Medford, Oregon. "Honey helps the crust bake up golden brown, wheat germ adds extra nutrition and the wonderful flavor will likely make it your family's standard for homemade bread, too."

"This bread reminds me of sourdough without the trouble of having to prepare and replenish the starter," says Nita Anderson of Florence, Alabama. "Buttermilk gives a light tartness to the chewy loaf. It's a great all-purpose bread."

Steps:
- Let the buttermilk come to room temperature or microwave until almost warm.
- Add the ingredients to the machine in order given.
- Set on dough cycle.
- When complete, remove dough and shape into a log and place in a pam sprayed loaf pan.
- Let rise in a warm place until doubled in size or about 1 hour.
- Bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 30 minutes.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh buttermilk, bread flour, and unsalted butter will give you the best results. Freshly ground salt will also enhance the flavor of the bread.
- Mix and knead the dough properly: Be sure to mix the dough until all of the ingredients are well combined and the dough is smooth and elastic. Kneading the dough helps to develop the gluten, which gives the bread its structure and texture.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough should rise until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1-2 hours. You can speed up the rising process by placing the dough in a warm oven. Before putting the dough in the oven, turn on the oven light and close the door. The light will create a warm, humid environment that is perfect for rising dough.
- Bake the bread at a high temperature: Baking the bread at a high temperature will give it a crispy crust and a soft, fluffy interior.
- Let the bread cool before slicing: Letting the bread cool before slicing will help to prevent it from crumbling. Simply place the bread on a wire rack and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
Conclusion:
Buttermilk bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own preferences. Whether you like it plain, with butter, or with your favorite toppings, buttermilk bread is sure to please everyone at your table.
