Preparation method
Prep: 20 minutes | Cook: 35 minutes | Extra time: 2 hours 5 minutes1.
Combine yeast in warm water.
2.
Place the butter and buttermilk in a small saucepan and heat slowly until butter has melted. Cool to lukewarm.
3.
Place sugar, salt, bicarb soda, buttermilk mixture and yeast in a large mixing bowl. Add half of the flour slowly, and mix with the dough hook attachment of an electric mixer. Gradually add the remaining flour while continuing to mix.
4.
When dough is not sticky, turn out on a lightly floured surface. Knead for several minutes, until the dough is soft and smooth. Place in a greased bowl, and turn once. Allow to rise until doubled in size.
5.
Punch down the dough. Divide, and shape into 2 loaves. Place in two well greased 20x10cm loaf tins. Allow to rise until dough has risen 2 1/2 cm above pans.
6.
Bake in a preheated 190 degrees C oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Loaves are done when nicely brown and sound hollow when knocked.

Altered ingredient amounts.
Halved the quantities. Melted butter in microwave, and mixed with buttermilk and water. Then put everything in bread machine to mix, Cooked in 180C fan forced oven for 35 minutes.
Lovely golden brown, light yet moist and tasty bread.

This bread was good but a little dry. I halved it and used my bread machine. Next time, I will make as directed to see if it is not as dry.

Did not proof the yeast. Just tossed everything in the bread machine (halved the recipe). The smell while it was baking was devine and it was gobbled up for a late night snack by the children. Thanks

Something else.
I'm always looking for recipes to use up buttermilk left from making butter. This turned out excellent! Being a lazy cook, I dumped all the ingredients into my mixer bowl and used the dough hook for 8 minutes. Let it rise and made baps out of it. Let them rise for another 30 minutes, popped them in the oven for 12 minutes or so and YUM!! They rose nice and tall with a soft texture and were delicious. Thanks for the recipe.
