For a richer flavor, use European-style butter. Buttermilk substitutes: If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a quick substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 2 cups of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. Allowing the bread to rest for several hours or overnight enhances its flavor and texture. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap after it has cooled completely. Serve with butter, jam, or alongside your favorite soup or stew.
