I enjoy baking and decided I should venture into the realm of sandwich bread. Ok, to be honest, I also had some buttermilk that I needed to use up! This recipe is SO simple and the results were amazing.
I used the Cooks Illustrated Buttermilk Sandwich Bread recipe. It involves dumping your ingredients in the standing mixer and letting the machine do the kneading for ten minutes. Then you let it rise twice and bake. Total time is about three hours, but it is mostly hands-off.
The bread smells fabulous while baking and once it cools, the bread has a nice texture and crumb. Great for making sandwiches. If you plan to sneak a slice before it cools completely, cut carefully. The bread is delicate while warm and will squash into a funny shape. Ask me how I know....
