This honey buttermilk bread is an excellent bread machine loaf. Just add all of the ingredients to the machine and press the start button.

To make rolls or bake the bread conventionally, use the dough cycle, shape rolls or loaf, and then bake in the oven. Use an egg wash for a shiny surface.

Honey and buttermilk give this yeast bread great flavor and texture.
