BREAD MACHINE BUTTERMILK AND HONEY WHEAT BREAD



Bread Machine Buttermilk and Honey Wheat Bread image

This is one of my favorites. The recipe came from Eagle Mills. If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute 1 cup milk plus 1 teaspoon cider vinegar, and let it sit about 10 minutes before using. You can also add 4 tbs. buttermilk powder to the dry ingredients and substitute water for the buttermilk. I have also used plain all-purpose flour with excellent results.

BUTTERMILK WHOLE WHEAT BREAD



Buttermilk Whole Wheat Bread image

This is the only loaf bread we eat at home. It won a grand-prize ribbon at the county fair! We grow and grind our own white wheat, so I have the luxury of using fresh flour.

Provided by jcounts

Categories     Bread     Yeast Bread Recipes     Whole Grain Bread Recipes     Wheat Bread

Time 2h50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ½ cups buttermilk
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons butter
2 ⅓ cups whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 ½ tablespoons vital wheat gluten
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
½ teaspoon powdered lecithin
½ teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground ginger
1 pinch vitamin C powder
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Combine buttermilk, honey, and butter in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave in 30 second increments until temperature is just below 110 degrees F (43 degrees C).
  • Pour buttermilk mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer and add whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, wheat gluten, yeast, lecithin, salt, ginger, and vitamin C powder; mix, using the dough hook attachment on low speed, until dough just holds together and sides of bowl are clean. Let dough rest in bowl for 2 minutes; mix again with the dough hook attachment for 2 minutes more.
  • Remove dough from bowl and knead by hand on a work surface until dough is warm and elastic, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Spray a large bowl with cooking spray and place dough in the bowl, turning it to coat all sides with oil. Spray a piece of plastic wrap with cooking spray and cover bowl with sprayed-side down. Let dough rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Gently deflate dough by pressing with your fingers and let rise 10 to 15 minutes more.
  • Turn dough onto a work surface and roll into an 8 1/2x11-inch rectangle. Starting with the short end, roll dough tightly into a roll, pinching the seams shut. Fold the ends underneath the loaf, pinching the edges to form a smooth top.
  • Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray and place loaf in the pan. Cover dough loosely with the sprayed-plastic wrap. Let dough rise 1 1/2 to 2 inches above the pan, 30 to 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove plastic wrap from loaf.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes. Flip bread out of pan using hot pads; internal temperature should read 190 degrees F (88 degrees C). Allow loaf to cool on wire rack before slicing.

WHOLE WHEAT OATMEAL BUTTERMILK BREAD



WHOLE WHEAT OATMEAL BUTTERMILK BREAD image

Categories     Bread

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 cup boiling water
1/4 cup room temperature water
2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon honey
2 teaspoons instant yeast
1 1/2 cups buttermilk, at room temperature
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt

Steps:

  • Add 1 1/4 cups of the oats to a medium heatproof bowl. Pour the boiling water over them and stir to combine. Let sit, uncovered, for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the soaked oats, room temperature water, 2 tablespoons of the honey, yeast, buttermilk, olive oil, both flours and the salt. Mix until a rough dough comes together, then switch to the dough hook and knead on low speed for about 10 minutes. When the dough is ready it will have a satiny finish, but it will still be somewhat wet and will cling to the dough hook (if necessary, you can add slightly more flour to the dough). Spray a large bowl with nonstick cooking spray then add the dough, turning to coat. Cover and let rise for 1 hour, or until just about doubled in size. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and press down to release excess air bubbles. Shape the dough into a 12x6-inch rectangle, with a long side facing you. Fold the sides in so they meet in the middle, then roll the dough into a log, starting with the end closest to you. Pinch the dough closed at the seam. Spray a 10-inch loaf pan (or at least 9 inches, this is a big loaf of bread) with nonstick cooking spray. Add the dough to the pan, seam side down, pressing it into the corners. In a small bowl, mix the remaining teaspoon of honey with 1/2 teaspoon of hot water. Brush the mixture over the top of the loaf then sprinkle it with the remaining 1/4 cup of oats. Let sit for about 30 minutes, or until the loaf rises just over the top of the pan. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 F. Bake the bread for 50-60 minutes, or until the internal temperature is about 200 F. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and turn the bread out. Let cool completely before slicing.

BUTTERMILK WHEAT BREAD



Buttermilk Wheat Bread image

I found this recipe on another website and just had to share! It was the first yeast bread I ever got to rise properly. The smell as it is baking is mouthwatering. I couldn't wait for my husband to get home, I had to sample it fresh from the oven!

Provided by Jennifer Winborn

Categories     Other Breads

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 c buttermilk
1 1/2 Tbsp butter, melted
2 Tbsp sugar
3/4 tsp salt
3 c all purpose flour
1/3 c whole wheat flour
2 1/2 tsp active dry yeast (or 1 package)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350. Spray a loaf pan with cooking spray.
  • 2. Warm buttermilk in the microwave for approximately 1 to 1-1/2 minutes (warm to the touch, but not scalding hot). Stir the buttermilk to remix it after pulling it from the microwave.
  • 3. Add all ingredients to mixing bowl. If using a stand mixer, use the dough hook attachment to mix at low speed and then knead the dough on medium low to medium for 5 minutes. Add extra whole wheat flour 1 tablespoon at a time as necessary to firm up dough. If making by hand, mix all ingredients until combined, then knead on a lightly floured surface for 5 - 6 minutes, or until dough is elastic, adding a little whole wheat flour as necessary to bring dough together. If using a bread machine, add ingredients as per manufacturer's directions and set for Basic or White cycle.
  • 4. After kneading, place bowl on top of oven, covering with a kitchen towel, for 20 minutes
  • 5. Punch dough down and place into greased loaf pan. Allow to rise a second time for 20 minutes.
  • 6. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes

Tips:

  • Use fresh buttermilk: Fresh buttermilk will give your bread a better flavor and texture. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Measure your ingredients accurately: Baking is a science, so it's important to measure your ingredients accurately. This will ensure that your bread turns out perfectly.
  • Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough helps to develop the gluten, which gives bread its structure and texture. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough needs to rise in a warm place so that the yeast can activate and grow. The ideal temperature for rising dough is between 75 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Bake the bread at a high temperature: Baking the bread at a high temperature will help to create a crispy crust and a fluffy interior.

Conclusion:

Buttermilk wheat bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be used for sandwiches, toast, or even French toast. It's a great way to use up leftover buttermilk, and it's also a healthier option than white bread. If you're looking for a new bread recipe to try, buttermilk wheat bread is definitely worth a try.
