Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cups Bread flour
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
Instructions
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting.
Add the buttermilk and water to the bread machine pan.
Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and add it to the liquid in the pan.
Layer the bread flour on top of the liquids to form a barrier.
Sprinkle the sugar and salt over the flour layer, keeping them separate.
Make a small well in the center of the flour, but do not dig deep enough to reach the liquid. Add the active dry yeast into this well.
Place the bread machine pan into the machine and set the machine to the 'Basic' or 'White Bread' program with your desired crust setting (light, medium, or dark).
Start the bread machine and allow it to knead, rise, and bake the bread.
When the machine completes its cycle, carefully remove the bread pan and turn the loaf out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
