Table of Contents hide

Ingredients:

– 1 cup warm

buttermilk

– 1/4 cup warm water

– 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast

– 1/4 cup honey

– 2 tbsp melted

butter

– 1 tsp salt

– 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1. In a small bowl, combine the warm buttermilk, warm water, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy.

2. Mix in the honey, melted butter, and salt.

3. Gradually add in the flour, stirring until a dough forms.

4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

6. Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan, cover, and let it rise again for another 30 minutes.

7. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

8. Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.

9. Let the bread cool before slicing and serving.

Tips:

– Make sure the buttermilk is warm but not too hot to avoid killing the yeast.

– You can brush the top of the loaf with melted butter after baking for a softer crust.

– Store the bread in an airtight container to keep it fresh longer.
