How to Make Bread Machine Buttermilk Bread

• Place the ingredients in the bread machine in the order recommended by your bread machine’s manufacturer.

• Program the bread machine using the “basic” setting for a 1 ½ pound loaf. 
• When the cycle is completed, remove the bread from the baking pan and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing.

Tips Tricks and FAQs

• Shake your buttermilk in the carton before measuring it. This helps distribute the buttermilk flavor that usually sinks to the bottom as it sits in the fridge. 
• You will want to make sure your buttermilk is at room temperature. If it is too cold, it will not activate the yeast and your bread will not rise. 
• Be sure to check the date of your yeast before adding it to your mixture. Using expired yeast can cause your bread to not rise properly. 
• Allow your bread to sit for at least 45 minutes before slicing it. Use a serrated knife for cutting. 
• If you prefer you can use dried buttermilk powder to make this bread. 
• Add some of your favorite herbs to the mixture. All you need is about 1 teaspoon. 
• Don’t check on the bread as it is cooking. Opening the lid will affect the baking process. 

Freezer

This bread freezes nicely. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil. Place it in the freezer. This will last for about 6 months. 

When you are ready to enjoy, thaw at room temperature.
