Categories     bread

Time 2h25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 ½ cups buttermilk*
2 TBSP melted butter
2 TBSP sugar
1 tsp salt
3 ½ cups all-purpose or bread flour
1 TBSP yeast

Steps:

  • Combine buttermilk, butter, and sugar in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients, including yeast. Whisk dry ingredients together to combine, then add to buttermilk mixture in the mixing bowl. (I use a Kitchenaid Mixer.) Mix ingredients until well combined. I like about a quarter sized amount of dough to be sticking on the very bottom. If your dough looks a bit dry, add in another splash of buttermilk. Once you've achieved a good consistency, mix the dough on low for about 6-7 minutes. (Or knead by hand about 10 minutes.) Proper kneading is critical to great textured homemade bread!
  • Once dough is done kneading, cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour; until dough has doubled in size.
  • Punch dough down and knead several times. Shape dough (I like to roll mine, then tuck the ends under) and place in a greased bread loaf pan. Place dough back in the warm spot and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake dough for about 30-35 minutes- until top is golden brown. Let cool and slice.
  • *You can substitute regular milk + lemon juice for buttermilk, but you won't quite get the full texture and flavor of this bread. So add buttermilk to the grocery list; you'll love it!

SIMPLE CRUSTY BREAD



Simple Crusty Bread image

We thought we'd landed upon the simplest yeast bread recipe in 2007, when Mark Bittman wrote about the no-knead approach of Jim Lahey, owner of Sullivan Street Bakery. It quickly became (and remains) one of our most popular recipes because it made bakery-quality bread a real possibility for home cooks. But then we heard about Jeff Hertzberg, a physician from Minneapolis, who devised a streamlined technique for a crusty loaf of bread. Mix flour, salt, yeast and water. Let it sit a bit, refrigerate it, take some out and let it rise, then bake it. The crusty, full-flavored loaf that results may be the world's easiest yeast bread.

Categories     breads, side dish

Time 3h45m

Yield 4 loaves

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 tablespoons yeast
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
6 1/2 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour, more for dusting dough
Cornmeal

Steps:

  • In a large bowl or plastic container, mix yeast and salt into 3 cups lukewarm water (about 100 degrees). Stir in flour, mixing until there are no dry patches. Dough will be quite loose. Cover, but not with an airtight lid. Let dough rise at room temperature 2 hours (or up to 5 hours).
  • Bake at this point or refrigerate, covered, for as long as two weeks. When ready to bake, sprinkle a little flour on dough and cut off a grapefruit-size piece with serrated knife. Turn dough in hands to lightly stretch surface, creating a rounded top and a lumpy bottom. Put dough on pizza peel sprinkled with cornmeal; let rest 40 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough or refrigerate it.
  • Place broiler pan on bottom of oven. Place baking stone on middle rack and turn oven to 450 degrees; heat stone at that temperature for 20 minutes.
  • Dust dough with flour, slash top with serrated or very sharp knife three times. Slide onto stone. Pour one cup hot water into broiler pan and shut oven quickly to trap steam. Bake until well browned, about 30 minutes. Cool completely.

Tips:

  • To get a crispy crust, use buttermilk and a combination of all-purpose and bread flour. The buttermilk will tenderize the dough, while the bread flour will give it a chewy texture.
  • Make sure the butter is very cold before adding it to the dough. This will help create flaky layers in the bread.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will ensure that the bread is light and airy.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven. A preheated oven will help create a crispy crust.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help prevent the bread from tearing.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Crusty Buttermilk Bread is a great way to make a delicious and hearty loaf of bread at home. The bread is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you're serving it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this bread is sure to be a hit.
