Maple Buttermilk Bread (Abm)

megnbrycesmom's Note:

This is a minor adaption of a recipe from Lora Brody's "Bread Machine Baking: Perfect Every Time". It is my husband's favorite white bread. A very light loaf. For a 1.5 lb machine.

• Total Time: 4 hrs 5 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 4 hrs

Ingredients:

Yield: 1 loaf

• 3 cups unbleached white flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 10 teaspoons pure maple syrup (this is 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon)
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 ½ teaspoons yeast

Directions:

1. Place all ingredients in machine according to the manufacturer's directions (for example, in my machine you put in dry ingredients first, then wet on top, and put the yeast in a special dispenser). Please note that you may need to bring the buttermilk to room temperature or warm it slightly depending on how your machine works.
2. Program for basic or white bread and press Start.

I'm sorry, I couldn't tell that this was a maple syrup bread at all. I admit, part of it may have been my own fault. I used the dough cycle, and tried to make sandwich rolls with this dough. Once they were baked, they tasted dense and chewy, and kind of bland. This may just be a recipe that doesn't translate easily to oven baking, and is best suited to leaving in the machine. Thank you for posting, made for ZWT4.

This was so very good! I like the sweetness the maple syrup gives to the bread. And it's very soft and fluffy!!!
