Preheat oven to 325ºF degrees.

1 cup Buttermilk
Bake in prepared 8x4 loaf pans for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Watch carefully, all ovens are not the same.

Notes

This recipe calls for an 8x4-inch loaf pan, which produces a tall loaf. You can also use an 8 1/2x4 1/2-inch loaf pan, producing a slightly shorter bread. Since the pan is a bit larger, the bake time is shorter. A 9x5-inch pan will yield an especially short but still delicious bread.

Baking times vary so start checking the bread a few minutes before the suggested baking time.
