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!
Time 3h45m Yield 2 loaves Number Of Ingredients 8 Steps:
Mix the yeast and water in the bowl of your mixer and let proof for 5-10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the buttermilk and butter over low heat until the butter melts. The mixture will look badly curdled- don’t worry, that’s what happens when buttermilk is heated. It will be fine. Mix the salt, baking soda and sugar into 1 cup of the flour. Pour over the yeast, and mix until thoroughly combined. Put the bowl on your mixer with the dough hook attachment, add another cup of flour and mix until the flour is incorporated. Keep adding flour until the dough comes together and is no longer sticky. Then let the dough knead in the machine 5-10 minutes. Take out of the bowl and finish kneading by hand until the dough is smooth. Turn into a buttered bowl, cover with plastic wrap, then a towel, and then let it sit to rise until doubled. Punch down the dough, divide and shape into 2 loaves, then place in greased loaf pans. Set aside for the second rising. Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the loaves until done, about 30-45 minutes.

Divide each portion into thirds; shape each into a 12-in. rope. Braid three ropes; pinch ends to seal and tuck under. Place in a greased 9x5-in. loaf pan. Repeat with remaining dough. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes. , Preheat oven to 350°. Bake 40-45 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
