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
Directions
Step 1
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting.
Step 2
Add the buttermilk and water to the bread machine pan.
Step 3
Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and add it to the liquid in the pan.
Step 4
Layer the bread flour on top of the liquids to form a barrier.
Step 5
Sprinkle the sugar and salt over the flour layer, keeping them separate.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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).
Step 8
Start the bread machine and allow it to knead, rise, and bake the bread.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
