Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk (link to homemade buttermilk in Notes.)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 Tbsp unsalted butter (at room temperature)
  • 3 Tbsps honey
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsps yeast

Instruction

  • Mix the buttermilk, water, butter and honey together.
  • In a separate bowl mix the salt and flour evenly.
  • Add the ingredients to your bread machine in the order recommended. Mine is the liquid mixture, dry mix and yeast sprinkled on top of the dry.
  • Set the bread machine to the dough cycle.
  • Grease a loaf pan while the dough is rising in the bread machine.
  • When the dough cycle is done transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Punch it down and then shape it by folding the long edges down a bit. Put it in the loaf pan so the top of the dough is smooth.
  • Cover with a clean towel and let it rise 40 minutes at room temperature or slightly warmer. (Like a light on in your oven with door closed. If you have a rise function on your oven even better.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 ° near the end of the last rise cycle. Bake bread 30 minutes. Internal temperature should be 190°. If not using a thermometer the top should be browned and will make a slightly hollow sound when tapped on the bottom.
  • Turn bread out to cool on a rack after a few minutes of cooling.
