Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 3.5 cups Bread Flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
Instructions
Add the buttermilk, water, and unsalted butter to the bread machine's pan. Ensure the butter is at room temperature or cut into small pieces for even mixing.
Sprinkle the granulated sugar and salt evenly over the liquid ingredients.
Carefully spoon in the bread flour, making sure it completely covers the liquid layer. This helps to keep the yeast separate from the liquid during the initial resting phase.
Using your finger or the back of a spoon, create a small well in the center of the flour. Add the active dry yeast into this well without letting it touch the liquid layer.
Place the bread pan into the bread machine and securely close the lid.
Select the Basic or White Bread setting on the machine. Choose the desired crust color (light, medium, or dark) and set the loaf size to 1.5 pounds.
Start the machine and let it run through the full cycle, which typically includes kneading, rising, and baking. This process should take about 4 hours depending on your bread machine model.
Once the cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine using oven mitts. Turn the bread out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Store the bread in an airtight bag or container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
