My little sister Laura just got a bread machine (Panasonic) just like mine.
This is especially for her, but also for anyone else who loves good plain
warm hot home-made bread. This is my family’s absolute favorite ABM
bread…..
1. Place flour, dry milk, salt, sugar, butter, potato flakes, and turmeric
to the breadmaker basket.
2. Add buttermilk and water to basket. Place basket in bread machine.
3. Place yeast in yeast dispenser.
4. Set maker for basic bread, sandwich mode. This will take 4 hours.
Laura, and friends….this is Rebekah’s favorite type of bread that I make
in the ABM. Last weekend, I made a loaf for her to take back to college
with her. It doesn’t last more than about 3 days on the shelf (no
preservatives), but it never lasts that long here.
the pale yellow color makes pretty sandwiches. This is great for French
Toast.
If you use regular all-purpose flour, you’ll still get a good loaf, but it
will be more dense—not enough gluten to make it raise as well.
