Relief Society Buttermilk Bread
Put in your bread maker or mixer bowl:
1 Tablespoon yeast
4- 4 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons salt
2 Tablespoons butter
1/4 cup honey (spray your cup with cooking spray before measuring and the honey will slide right out)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups buttermilk, warmed to baby bottle temperature ( you can use 1/4 cup powdered buttermilk and 2 cups warm water)
Mix on manual. Let the bread knead for about 5-8 minutes. Remove from mixer and divide into two large or 4 small well sprayed loaf pans. The dough will be very sticky. Cover and let rise. Bake at 375 for about 15-18 minutes for small loaves and about 20-25 for large loaves. Butter the tops when you take it out of the oven. Remove from pans and let cool on wire rack.
It is such a good recipe. It always turns out delicious (unless I overrise it!) It is very easy to make, but the last several months, I have made it even easier. I make mixes of all the dry ingredients( including the 1/4 cup dry buttermilk powder)- making six at once. I put them in gallon zip bags. You can freeze them or store them on the shelf.
Then, when I want to make bread, I dump the mix in the Bosch mixer, add 2 cups of water, heated in the microwave for 1 minute, 1/4 cup of honey, and 2 Tablespoons of butter. Mix it for 8 minutes with the bread attachment, divide it into two sprayed loaf pans, and let it rise. Then bake it. I can have delicious homemade bread in a jiffy. I just wanted to share that trick with you.
