Equipment

  • Kitchen Aid
  • 2 loaf pans (8 inches by 4 inches)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 TBS Dry Active Yeast Or one packet
  • .5 tsp Nutmeg Fresh ground is best.
  • .25 cup Warm Water
  • 1 tsp Honey or Sugar
  • 1.5 cups Buttermilk
  • .5 cup cups Milk
  • .25 cups Melted Butter (4 Tablespoons or 1/2 a stick)
  • .33 Cups Honey
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • .75 tsp Baking Soda
  • 5 Cups Bread Flour

Instructions
 

  • Mix nutmeg, yeast, and warm water and set aside for a few minutes until yeast foams. Water should be around 90-100 degrees F, running your tap on hot until warm.
  • Mix bread flour, baking soda, and salt together in the bowl of a stand mixer or a large bowl to hand mix.
  • Add buttermilk, milk, melted butter, honey, and yeast mixture in with the flour. With a dough hook, slowly mix to combine. If needed, add additional flour until it pulls off the side of the bowl. Knead on low to medium speed for 5 minutes.
    You can also do this by hand. When dough comes together turn out on floured surface and knead until smooth and stretchy.
  • Place dough in a greased bowl, covered in plastic wrap in a warm spot until doubles in size- About an hour to hour and a half.
  • Once doubled, punch dough down and shape into loaves. Use 2 large greased bread pans or 3 tinfoil greased bread pans. Cover pans and let rise for 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before removing from pan and cool on wire rack.
  • Optional- While bread is cooling- Melt 2 Tablespoons butter and mix with 1 tablespoon honey and brush over the top of the loaf.
