Homemade buttermilk quick bread is perfect for a weeknight meal, or breakfast. The best part is that you don’t even have to own a bread machine to make this easy bread recipe. You just need a bread loaf pan. Buttermilk and baking soda will do all the job for you! You also won’t need to use any yeast. This classic buttermilk loaf is light, rich and not overly sweet, making it a good match for lunch sandwiches and breakfast toasts.
How to make homemade buttermilk bread
You make the buttermilk dough from scratch and use only fresh ingredients. Buttermilk, flour and baking soda. Because it’s made with only wholesome ingredients and no additives, it’s my favorite bread recipe. I also like that it’s a quick bread made without any yeast. No yeast and no kneading. So easy and quick! Just like our recipe for Irish Soda Bread.
To begin with, you will be using 9×5 inch bread loaf pan. I use both non-stick and glass loaf pans. And both work great! I also wrap the bread in foil once it’s baked. Foil helps with the flavor.
Use this homemade bread loaf as a sandwich bread
This is our favorite sandwich bread! We don’t even buy regular bread much. Because I make jelly and lunch meat sandwiches with it for my son to take to school. He loves it with peanut butter and grilled cheese as well! Because it’s filling, flavorful and has such a delicious, soft texture! My family get so excited when they smell freshly baked bread! Did I mention that this bread recipe does not require a bread machine?
Have you ever toasted a slice of quick bread? Well, toasted quick bread smells so delicious! But when it’s homemade, it’s even better! The aroma is amazingWith a touch of sweetness.
Because I use it as a sandwich bread, I store it sliced. It slices up nicely. You can refrigerate it or freeze it.
Super easy!
Enjoy!
