Deliciously Easy Bread Machine Buttermilk Bread

Fluffy and flavorful Buttermilk Bread made easy with a bread machine.

I love fresh homemade bread. The smell, the taste... But in the summertime I don't always like the heat generated by the oven. And sometimes I don't want to go to the hassle of kneading and watching the rising cycles. It's times like these I bust out my trusty old bread machine.

The recipe comes from the book Baking with Julia: Savor the Joys of Baking with America's Best Bakers (affiliate link) based on the PBS series. It is the same one that had the fabulous Popovers recipe I posted last week.

The only odd ingredient for some people may be the powdered buttermilk. I use this brand (affiliate link) which I find easily next to the powdered milk in my grocery store. It is actually easier for me to find than fresh buttermilk sometimes - heavens knows why. I use it in biscuits and pancakes as well.

The major drawback to my bread machine is the odd shaped loaf. But, the recipe includes instructions for prepping it in the bread machine and then baking in the oven as rolls or a regularly shaped loaf.
