Favorite Buttermilk Bread image

"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."

I followed the recipe exactly, but my bread didn't turn out like the picture. It was much flatter.

This bread didn't turn out very well for me. It was too dense and crumbly.

This bread is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe.

This bread is so good! I've made it several times and it always turns out perfect. It's so moist and fluffy, and the buttermilk gives it a slightly tangy flavor that I love. I usually add a little bit of honey to the batter, which makes it even more
