Here’s a wonderful Bread Machine Buttermilk Bread recipe — soft, slightly tangy, and perfect for sandwiches or toast. 🥖✨
It combines the rich flavor of buttermilk with the convenience of your bread machine for an easy, reliable loaf every time.
🍞 Bread Machine Buttermilk Bread
Ingredients (1½ lb loaf):
- ¾ cup buttermilk, warmed to room temperature
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons honey (or sugar)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 ¼ cups bread flour
- ½ cup whole wheat flour (optional — or use more bread flour for a lighter loaf)
- 2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast or bread machine yeast
🧡 Instructions
Step 1: Add ingredients to bread machine
Add ingredients to the bread pan in the order recommended by your machine manufacturer.
(Usually: liquids first, then dry ingredients, and yeast last on top.)
Make sure the yeast does not touch the liquid until the machine starts mixing.
Step 2: Select your settings
Choose the Basic (White Bread) or Sandwich setting.
Select Light or Medium crust, depending on your preference.
Press Start and let the machine do its work!
Step 3: Cool and slice
When baking is complete, carefully remove the loaf from the pan.
Let it cool on a wire rack for at least 20–30 minutes before slicing.
This helps the crumb set and prevents tearing.
🌿 Optional Add-ins & Variations
Add 1 tablespoon of oats or flaxseed for a rustic texture.
Swap honey for maple syrup for a different flavor.
For a richer loaf, use 3 tablespoons of butter instead of 2.
🥛 If You Don’t Have Buttermilk
You can easily make your own substitute:
Mix ¾ cup milk + 2 teaspoons lemon juice or vinegar.
Let it sit for 5 minutes until slightly curdled — then use as buttermilk.
