Yeast Bread Recipe With Buttermilk

This tender honey buttermilk bread recipe will be your new go-to yeast bread.  It rises beautifully thanks to the bread flour and the honey adds a slight country sweetness.

Homemade bread is one of those foods I love to tackle and I love this honey buttermilk bread.  I learned over the few years that I have been cooking and baking that yeast bread is one of the easiest things to make, it’s made with items that most people always have in their pantry, and yet always impresses people.  It’s that extra step you take when you are making a homemade meal and your guests can never believe you also made your own bread.  It’s a good feeling!

It is simple to just pay a couple dollars and pick up a loaf at the store to have along with your dinner, but I find it’s one of those things that is worth the little bit of extra effort.  I’ve learned over the years – and am still learning- what is worth it and what is not.  The only catch with homemade bread, of course, is that you need to plan ahead a little when it comes to yeast bread to allow for the time it takes for the dough to rise, etc.   Other than that, piece of  “cake”.

Mary's Bread: Buttermilk Bread Recipe With Yeast (makes 2 Loaves!)

This soft buttermilk bread is a white bread that has the perfect amount of sweetness added to it with the subtle flavor of honey.  I find this recipe works best using pure raw honey but you can use whatever you have on hand.  Buttermilk bread has always been one of my favorites as far as both taste and texture go.  The buttermilk just gives it the perfect texture and lightness – you must try it sometime.

Note: this recipe makes two large loaves, so divide it in half if you don’t need that much!  Or freeze the dough and have it on hand when you want to have a taste of this deliciousness again in the near future.

Buttermilk – there are times when make-you-own buttermilk is fine, but this bread probably isn’t one of them. Wait until you have real buttermilk on hand to make this bread, for best results.

Instant Yeast – this is the regular Instant Yeast (such as SAF Brand) and not quick or rapid-rise yeast. I only use SAF Brand Instant Yeast and I highly recommend it. It is easily available online (Amazon and more).

I believe you can adapt this recipe to use Active Dry yeast if that’s your only option, though I haven’t tested it with this recipe. You will need to make some changes for Active Dry yeast. I have provided some details for this in the Recipe Card below.

Flour – unbleached bread flour is recommended, for best results. You could also use bleached bread flour or bleached or unbleached all purpose flour, but the resulting loaf may have a slightly different consistency and you may need to use a bit more flour over-all if using all purpose flour.

Buttermilk yeast dough can be notoriously slow rising, as the buttermilk is added at room temperature, so the lack of a warm liquid slows the rise. Pack your patience with this one and plan on up to 1 1/2 – 2 hours per rise (3-4 hours of total rising time). That said, rise times vary depending on the temperature of your kitchen and the time of year, so trust what you see in terms of doubling and not the clock.

1. For Active Dry Yeast, very, very carefully warm the buttermilk to just about 90F and add the yeast to the buttermilk. Let stand a few minutes, then combine with the rest of the ingredients. Don't over-warm the buttermilk or it will split.

2. You can use all purpose flour in place of the bread flour, though the texture of the bread will be slightly different. You may also find that you will need to use slightly more flour over-all to achieve the correct dough consistency.

WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR:  BUBBLING ACTION IN THE YEAST.  Your yeast will begin to bubble up and eventually rise up the glass measuring cup.   It will be foamy looking like this.  It is still rising and will continue to rise if I allow it, but I am ready to use it at this proofing point.  It shows me that the yeast is active and alive.  My bread will rise to perfection.

Using a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook will make kneading your bread a breeze.  If you don’t have a stand mixer, you will need to knead the dough by pushing and rotating the dough until the dough is smooth and elastic about 8-10 minutes. After kneading the dough, it is placed in a lightly oiled bowl to rise until double in size.

Punch dough down, turn onto floured board. Knead a couple of times, maybe 2 minutes to make dough smooth and satiny/elastic.  Be careful not to over flour the dough.  The dough will be tough if you use too much flour. Dough should not be sticky and move easily ..soft and pliable.

In the kitchen, there are, in fact, only two things that intimidate my mother: The impending arrival of guests (see my previous post, Roasted Red Pepper Soup) and baking bread.

“That whole yeast thing just scares me, ” she shrugs. “And all that kneading and rising? I’m sure I’d do it wrong and, oh, I don’t know…” her voice trails off and suddenly she’s busily whisking a roux or butterflying a pork loin.
