buttermilk honey bread

How To Make buttermilk honey bread

• 
  Step 1
  Combine 1/2 cup of warm water, yeast, and a pinch of sugar in a small bowl. Stir to dissolve yeast, and let sit for approx. 10 minutes or until foamy.
• 
  Step 2
  In a large mixing bowl, combine the remaining warm water, buttermilk, melted butter, honey, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and stir until combined.
• 
  Step 3
  Add 2 cups of flour and mix well. Continue to beat the mixture for 2 minutes or until smooth and creamy.
• 
  Step 4
  Add additional flour in 1/2 cup increments, stirring well after each addition, until the dough holds together and starts to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
• 
  Step 5
  Switch from paddle attachment to the dough hook. Knead in the remaining flour adding a few tablespoons at a time, until smooth and the dough no longer sticks to your finger when touched. Continue to knead for approximately 5 minutes.
• 
  Step 6
  Lightly grease a large bowl. Place the dough in the bowl, turning to coat.
• 
  Step 7
  Cover bowl with plastic wrap or towel. Let the dough rise at room temp until doubled, about 1 and 1/2 hours.
• 
  Step 8
  Turn dough out onto a work surface and divide in half.
• 
  Step 9
  Grease 2 loaf pans (9x5) with butter and set aside. Form loaves, I usually roll them out on a floured surface, and roll tightly. Place each loaf seam side down in the pans.
• 
  Step 10
  Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a towel.
• 
  Step 11
  Allow to rise at room temp until doubled again; about 30 minutes.
• 
  Step 12
  Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake 40-45 minutes or until loaves look deep golden brown.
• 
  Step 13
  Cool slightly and remove from pans. Cool on a wire rack.
