My absolute go to for soft fluffy bread. When the kids don't want to eat the crusty dense bread that is often how homemade looks, this is the one!

Buttermilk is the secret ingredient that takes homemade bread to the next level! Its slight acidity helps break down gluten, creating a softer, fluffier texture whilst also enhancing the bread’s flavour. In this Thermomix buttermilk bread recipe, the buttermilk works alongside yeast to give the dough a perfect rise, resulting in a light, tender crumb and a beautifully golden crust. Whether you’re making sandwiches, toast, or simply enjoying a warm slice with butter, this easy recipe delivers bakery-quality results with minimal effort. Get ready to bake the softest, most delicious loaf right in your Thermomix! This recipe appears in The Weekend Table which should be on your table...just saying.
