Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 300 milliliters Buttermilk
- 7 grams Active dry yeast
- 10 grams Granulated sugar
- 10 grams Salt
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
- 50 milliliters Warm water
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast and granulated sugar in warm water (approximately 38–43°C / 100–110°F). Let it sit for 5–10 minutes, or until it becomes foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
In a heatproof container, gently warm the buttermilk until it is lukewarm (not hot). Add the softened unsalted butter to the buttermilk and stir until combined.
Gradually add the foamy yeast mixture and the buttermilk mixture to the flour and salt. Mix until the dough starts to come together.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a small amount of flour, one tablespoon at a time, as needed.
Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
After the first rise, punch down the dough to release the air and shape it into a loaf. Place the loaf into a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Cover the dough again with the kitchen towel and let it rise for another 30–40 minutes, or until it has risen slightly above the edge of the pan.
Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Once the dough has finished its second rise, bake it in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serve as desired and enjoy the tender, tangy Munsterland Buttermilk Bread with butter, jam, or as a base for sandwiches.
