How to Make Buttermilk Bread

  1. Warm the buttermilk: Let the buttermilk come to room temperature (ideally around 70°F) or gently warm it in the microwave until just lukewarm. Do not overheat.
  2. Combine ingredients in bread machine: Add all ingredients to your bread machine pan in the order specified in the ingredient list below.
  3. Activate dough cycle: Select the dough cycle on your bread machine and let it run until completed.
  4. Shape the dough: Once the cycle is finished, gently remove the dough from the machine. Shape it into a log and place it in a greased (pam-sprayed) 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  5. Let it rise: Let the dough rise in a warm place (around 80°F) until doubled in size, approximately 1 hour. You can create a warm environment by preheating your oven to the lowest setting for a few minutes, then turning it off, and placing the bread inside.
  6. Bake to perfection: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The crust should be a beautiful golden brown.
  7. Cool and enjoy: Let the bread cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
