Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup warm water 10 ounces
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast 6 grams
- 2 tablespoons butter softened, 28 grams
- 3 1/3 cups bread flour * 433 grams
- 2 tablespoons dry buttermilk ** 12 grams
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 24 grams
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt 7 grams
Instructions
- Pour the warm water (between 100-115 degrees F) in a stand mixer bowl. Sprinkle the yeast on top of the water and wait about 5 minutes for the yeast to activate. 1 1/4 cup warm water, 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- Then add the rest of the ingredients to the mixing bowl. With the paddle attachment, mix the ingredients until they are just combined and completely moistened. Then take off the paddle attachment and let the dough rest for 15 minutes. 2 tablespoons butter, 3 1/3 cups bread flour *, 2 tablespoons dry buttermilk **, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- Place the dough hook on the stand mixer. Knead the bread on low speed for about 5-7 minutes. The dough should be slightly tacky to the touch.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a towel or plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm space for about 30 minutes or until nearly doubled in size. Punch the dough down.
- Take the dough ball, form it into a loaf and put it in a greased 9x5" loaf pan. Allow the dough to rise while you preheat the oven to 375ºF.
- Bake in the pre-heated oven for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown. Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
