JElaineb posted this Buttermilk soaked bread recipe the other day. I tried it and it worked out really well! I wanted to post it again (and thank her!) because I have also tried it dairy free with good results. Just in case anyone could use the variation. I just substituted the buttermilk for an equal amount of water and put in two tblsp lemon juice.
Oh, and I don't have a bread machine. This recipe turns out well when done by hand too.
Anyway....it's very good bread! Thanks JElaineB!
