Crusty Buttermilk Bread image

Mmmmmmmm!!! Nummy nummy, this is the best white bread I've ever made, and a whole loaf was just devoured in one meal. This is so light and fluffy on the inside with an incredible crust. Got this from another site.

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup warm water (110 F/45 C)
1/4 cup margarine

  • Add flour a little at a time, mixing until not sticky.
  • Turn onto a lightly floured surface sprinkle some flour on top of the dough; knead for several minutes, the more you knead, the more it will rise!

  • Punch down the dough and place in a loaf pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray and floured. Spray the top with cooking spray, and allow to rise 40 minutes.
