All Bran Buttermilk Pan Bread Recipes

BUTTERMILK BREAD II

Steps:

• Proof yeast in warm water.
• Place the butter or margarine and buttermilk in a small saucepan. Heat slowly until butter or margarine has melted. Cool to lukewarm.
• Place sugar, salt, baking soda, buttermilk mixture, and yeast in large mixing bowl. Add 3 cups flour one cup at a time, and mix with the dough hook attachment of an electric mixer. Gradually add the remaining flour while continuing to mix. When dough is not sticky, turn out on a lightly floured surface. Knead for several minutes, until the dough is soft and smooth. Place in a greased bowl, and turn once. Allow to rise until doubled in size.
• Punch down the dough. Divide, and shape into 2 loaves. Place in two well greased 8 x 4 inch bread pans. Allow to rise until dough has risen one inch above pans.
• Bake in a preheated 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) oven for 30 to 35 minutes. Loaves are done when nicely brown and hollow sounding when thumped.

BUTTERMILK BREAD I

Steps:

• Place buttermilk, butter or margarine, sugar, salt, flour, whole wheat flour, and yeast into pan of bread machine.
• Bake on White Bread setting. Cool on wire racks before slicing.

BUTTERMILK HONEY BREAD

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in the warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
• Combine buttermilk, butter, honey and the yeast mixture in a large mixing bowl. Add salt and two cups of the flour. Whisk well to combine. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well with a wooden spoon after each addition. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and supple, about 6 minutes.
• Lightly oil a large mixing bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and put in a warm place to rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees F).
• Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal pieces and form into loaves. Place the loaves into two lightly greased 9x5 inch loaf pans. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for about 30 minutes or until the tops are golden and the bottoms of the loaves sound hollow when tapped.

BUTTERMILK BRAN MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Grease twelve muffin cups or use paper liners.
• In a large bowl, combine oil, All-Bran cereal and buttermilk. Let sit for about 5 minutes.
• Add eggs, raisins, molasses, brown sugar and vanilla. Stir just until ingredients are incorporated.
• Add to the large bowl: wheat and white flours, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
• Fold into the wet ingredients.
• Scoop batter into greased muffin cups. Fill all cups evenly, as full as possible.
• Sprinkle with wheat bran or wheat germ (optional).
• Bake at 400 on center rack for about 15-18 minutes, or until muffin springs back when touched lightly.

BANANA BRAN ZUCCHINI BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9x13 inch baking pan.
• Stir together the pumpkin, banana, egg, and egg whites in a large bowl. Beat in maple syrup, sugar, and vanilla; the batter should be a bit frothy. Stir in zucchini; set aside.
• Mix flour, bran, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger, and allspice in a separate bowl. Gradually add the flour mixture to the zucchini mixture, stirring just to moisten all ingredients. Over-mixing the batter will make it tough.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Cool completely before cutting into squares.

IRISH BROWN BREAD WITH BUTTERMILK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a loaf pan with cooking spray.
• Mix whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, oat bran, wheat bran, wheat germ, and baking soda together in a large bowl.
• Whisk egg lightly in a small bowl. Whisk in buttermilk. Pour over flour mixture; fold together with a large spoon until batter is moist.
• Pour batter into the loaf pan and smooth out the top. Use the spoon to trace a "plus" sign from edge to edge across the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 40 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 225 degrees F (105 degrees C); continue baking until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes more.
• Invert bread onto a wire rack. Let cool completely, about 1 hour.

BUTTERMILK BRAN LOAF

Steps:

• Mix together all the dry ingredients.
• Stir in the buttermilk and let stand in a warm place for 1/2 hour before scraping into an oiled loaf pan.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle.

PUMPKIN BRAN BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Butter two 9x5x3-inch loaf pans. Dust pans with flour. Combine first 8 ingredients in medium bowl; stir to blend well. Whisk eggs, sugar and buttermilk in large bowl. Add dry ingredients; stir to combine. Add pumpkin and oil; stir until blended. Divide batter between prepared pans.
• Bake until tester inserted into center of each loaf comes out clean, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Let loaves cool 10 minutes. Cut around pan sides to loosen loaves, if necessary. Turn out loaves onto racks; cool completely. (Can be made ahead. Wrap tightly and store at room temperature 1 day or freeze up to 1 month.)
