HOMEMADE BUTTERMILK BREAD

TBSP butter

TBSP sugar

salt

½ cups all-purpose or bread flour

TBSP yeast

Combine buttermilk, butter, and sugar in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients, including yeast. Whisk dry ingredients together to combine, then add to buttermilk mixture in the mixing bowl. (I use a Kitchenaid Mixer.) Mix ingredients until well combined. I like about a quarter sized amount of dough to be sticking on the very bottom. If your dough looks a bit dry, add in another splash of buttermilk. Once you've achieved a good consistency, mix the dough on low for about 6-7 minutes. (Or knead by hand about 10 minutes.) Proper kneading is critical to great textured homemade bread!

Once dough is done kneading, cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour; until dough has doubled in size.

Punch dough down and knead several times. Shape dough (I like to roll mine, then tuck the ends under) and place in a greased bread loaf pan. Place dough back in the warm spot and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake dough for about 30-35 minutes- until top is golden brown. Let cool and slice.

*You can substitute regular milk + lemon juice for buttermilk, but you won't quite get the full texture and flavor of this bread. So add buttermilk to the grocery list; you'll love it!

Bread Machine Buttermilk Bread (Soft White Bread)

Cups Buttermilk ((lukewarm) - 285 grams)

Tablespoons Unsalted Butter

Cups Bread Flour (- 360 grams)

Tablespoon White Granulated Sugar (- 19 grams)

Teaspoon

Cups Buttermilk (lukewarm) (- 307 milliliters)

Tablespoons Unsalted Butter (softened) (- 43 grams)

Cups Bread Flour (- 420 grams)

Tablespoons White Granulated Sugar (- 19 grams)

Teaspoons

Settings - 1.5 lb loaf (1.5 lb, light color and basic bread) and 2 lb loaf (2 lb, light color and basic bread)

Unplug your bread machine.

Remove the bread pan from the bread machine (so when you add the ingredients, they can not accidentally spill into the machine).

Soften the butter in your microwave.

Pour the buttermilk into the bread pan and then add the other ingredients. Place the bread machine yeast in last and the yeast should not touch the liquid (until the bread machine is turned on and the ingredients start to be mixed together by the bread machine). Put the bread pan with the ingredients back into unplugged bread machine.

Plug in the bread machine. Enter the correct settings (1.5 lb or 2lb, light color &amp; basic bread) and press the &quot;start&quot; button.

When the bread machine has finished baking the bread, unplug the bread machine.

Take the bread pan out of the bread machine.

Remove the bread from the bread pan and place it on a cooling rack. Use oven mitts when removing the bread pan from the bread machine because it will be very hot! Let the bread cool down on the cooling rack for at least 1-2 hours.

After removing the bread, don’t forget to remove the mixing paddle if it is stuck in the bread. Use oven mitts as the mixing paddle will be very hot coming out of the bread machine. Or wait until the bread is completely cooled and then remove the mixing paddle.

A quick and traditional Irish soda bread made with plain flour, baking soda and buttermilk. No yeast required – the loaf comes together in minutes, scores a classic cross, and bakes to a golden crust with a tender crumb. Perfect for breakfast, tea, or as a side with soup.

How to make Traditional Irish Soda Bread with Darina Allen

450 g Plain All-Purpose Flour

Salt

tsp Baking Soda (Irish Bread Soda)

Buttermilk

Preheat Oven

Set the oven to 230 °C (450 °F) and allow it to fully pre‑heat before you begin mixing.

Measure Dry Ingredients

Weigh 450 g plain flour into a large mixing bowl. Add ½ tsp salt and 1 tsp baking soda. Level off the baking soda with a straight edge.

Combine Dry Ingredients

Stir the flour, salt and baking soda together with your fingers until the soda is evenly distributed throughout the flour.

Add Buttermilk and Form Dough

Make a well in the centre of the dry mixture, pour in the 400 ml buttermilk in one go and, using a wooden spoon, stir in a full circular motion from the centre outwards until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.

Shape the Loaf

Generously flour a clean work surface. Turn the dough out, lightly flour your hands and gently pat the dough into a round about 1½ inches (3.5 cm) thick. Tidy the edges so the loaf has a neat shape.

Score and Prick

Sprinkle a little flour over the top, then cut a deep cross about 2 inches (5 cm) across the centre. Finally, prick the four corners of the loaf with a fork to let the “fairies” out.

Bake

Place the loaf on a baking sheet or pre‑heated cast‑iron skillet and bake for 30‑35 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the bottom sounds hollow when tapped.

Cool

Remove the bread from the oven and transfer to a wire rack. Cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing so the crumb sets.
