  • Then let the dough knead in the machine 5-10 minutes.
  • Take out of the bowl and finish kneading by hand until the dough is smooth.
  • Turn into a buttered bowl, cover with plastic wrap, then a towel, and then let it sit to rise until doubled.
  • Punch down the dough, divide and shape into 2 loaves, then place in greased loaf pans.
  • Set aside for the second rising.
  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Tips:

  • Use fresh buttermilk. Fresh buttermilk will give your bread a better flavor and texture. You can make your own buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the bread tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place. The dough should rise in a warm place (about 75-85°F) for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
  • Bake the bread at a high temperature. The bread should be baked at a high temperature (400°F) for about 30-35 minutes, or until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
  • Let the bread cool before slicing. Let the bread cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the bread to hold its shape.

Buttermilk bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be used for sandwiches, toast, or even French toast. It is a relatively easy bread to make, and it is a great way to use up leftover buttermilk. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect loaf of buttermilk bread every time.
