The Recipe...

 

Ingredients:

 

For the Dough:

• 4 cups of All-purpose flour
• 4 Tbsp. of Granulated Sugar
• 1 tsp. of Baking Soda
• 1 Tbsp. Baking Powder
• 1/2 tsp. of Salt
• 1/2 cup of Softened Butter (stick)
• 1 cup of Buttermilk
• 1 egg

For the Wash {to brush on top of the bread}:

• 2 Tbsp. of Buttermilk
• 2 Tbsp. of Melted Butter

 

 

Directions:

 

Step 1: In a large bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder.

 

 

 

Step 2: Add in Butter, and mix until clumpy

 

 



 

Step 3: Stir in the buttermilk and the egg, and mix until combined.

 

 

Step 4: Place dough onto a lightly floured surface, slightly knead, and then form dough into a round. Place the dough onto a greased baking sheet (I used parchment paper). Then cut an "+" on the top of the loaf.

 

 

Step 5: Combine Buttermilk and melted butter into a bowl, stir until mixed.

 

Step 6: Then brush over top of the loaf and bake it in a 375* oven for 50-55 minutes, or until golden brown. You may continue to brush more of the butter mixture onto the loaf as it bakes.

 

Step 7: Let cool for 5-10 minutes before cutting and ENJOY!!
