Recipe for two loaves of delicious buttermilk white bread.
Ingredients:
  • 1.5 cups buttermilk
  • 0.5 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
  • 0.5 cup margarine
  • 0.25 cup white sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 5.5 cups bread flour
Instructions:
  • Activate yeast in a warm water bath.
  • In a small saucepan, gently heat the butter or margarine with the buttermilk until the butter has melted. Allow the mixture to cool to lukewarm temperature.
  • Combine sugar, salt, baking soda, buttermilk mixture, and yeast in a large mixing bowl. Mix in 3 cups of flour one cup at a time using the dough hook attachment of an electric mixer. Slowly incorporate the remaining flour until the dough is no longer sticky. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until soft and smooth. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise until doubled in size.
  • Flatten the dough gently, then split it and form 2 loaves. Put them in two well-greased 8 x 4 inch bread pans. Let the dough rise until it peaks 1 inch over the pans.
  • Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 30-35 minutes until loaves are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.
