Can I use whole wheat flour instead of white flour to make buttermilk bread?
Yes, but whole wheat flour yields a denser loaf, so you may prefer using 3⁄4 of the amount of white flour in the buttermilk bread recipe. You will find the best amount that works perfectly by experience.

Tags: Buttermilk bread
Old-fashioned buttermilk is the liquid left behind the butter churned, but today, it is made by fermenting pasteurized and homogenized milk. Buttermilk’s acidic structure helps dough quickly rise and produces more tender bakery goods. Its acidic structure is beneficial to break down gluten and proteins, which result in tender and fluffy products.
Buttermilk also brings protein and a variety of vitamins and minerals to bakery goods while adding very little fat. So, using buttermilk in bread recipes or other bakery goods, enhances not only the delicacy and tenderness but also the nutritional value of the product.
Now go down to the recipe below and make buttermilk bread for your loved ones today!

Directions
Open the lid of the bread maker and remove the pan from the machine by pulling it upward.
Make sure the pan is clean and both kneading paddles are in place.
Add all of the ingredients to the bread pan in the order listed.
Put the bread pan back in the bread machine, pressing it down so that it clicks into its place, and close the lid.

Use the “Program” button to select program #1 for the basic cycle.
Press the “Color” button to choose your desired crust color.
Press the “Size” button to choose the weight of the loaf you are making. The time display will also change as you select the size of the bread since larger loaves take longer to cook.

The machine will let you know by making a beep sound once the bread-making cycle is finished. Open the lid at this time and remove the bread pan out by using a pot holder.
If you do not remove the loaf immediately, the bread machine will automatically go into a warming cycle to keep the bread warm for one hour.
After taking the bread pan out of the machine, flip the pan over and gently tap it to remove the bread. Make sure the kneading paddles are taken out of the bread loaf.
Your buttermilk bread is ready.
