Buttermilk White Bread

Inspired by this recipe.

¼ cup, plus 1 TBSP water
¾ cup buttermilk
3 TBSP vegetable oil
3 cups bread flour
⅓ cup oatmeal
1½ tsp salt
3 TBSP sugar
1.5 tsp rapid rise yeast

I made this using the dough setting for the bread machine.

Heat water and buttermilk to 80F (in microwave for 30 seconds). Next time, start with more buttermilk and add water to determine correct amount. The dough should be a soft tacky ball.

Pat or roll dough into rectangle of floured surface. Tightly roll up starting with narrow edge of rectangle. Pinch and seal edges underneath.

Place in 9.5 x 5x5 in pan (1.5 lb) to rise till ripe. Next time, try pushing the dough down into the pan to almost touch the sides. Proof at 100F for about 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 375F on convection setting (350F). Bake until internal temp reaches 205F, about 35 min. Cool on rack if possible. If not, slice and eat warm. Yum.
