Tips for the Best 2-Ingredient Bread
- Adjust the Consistency: If the dough is too sticky, add a tablespoon of flour at a time. If too dry, mix in a little more buttermilk.
- Add Extra Flavor: Stir in grated cheese, fresh herbs, or a sprinkle of sugar for a unique twist.
- Storage: Keep leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for longer freshness.
Perfect Pairings
- Breakfast: Spread with butter, honey, or jam.
- Lunch: Use as a base for sandwiches or toast.
- Dinner: Pair with soups, stews, or a rich butter sauce.
