My Aunt makes this and shared her recipe years ago.

 

Old Fashioned Buttermilk Bread

 

5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (5 1/2 to 6 cups)

3 tablespoons sugar

2 packages Fleischmann's Rapid Rise Yeast

2 teaspoons salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup buttermilk

1 cup water

1/3 cup butter or margarine (2/3 stick) -- cut up

 

In large bowl, combine 3 cups flour, sugar,

undissolved yeast, salt and

baking soda. Heat buttermilk, water and butter until

very warm (120 to

130?F). Butter does not need to melt; mixture will

appear curdled. Stir

into dry ingredients. Stir in enough remaining flour

to make soft dough.

Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and

elastic, about 6 to 8

minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.

 

Divide dough in half; roll each to 12 & #1504;7-inch

rectangle. Beginning at

short end, roll up tightly; pinch seam and ends to

seal. Place each, seam

side down, in greased 8 & #1504;4-inch loaf pan. Cover;

let rise in warm,

draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 to 45

minutes.

 

Bake at 375?F for 30 to 35 minutes or until done.

Remove from pans; cool

on wire rack.
