Buttermilk Bread

1 pound loaf
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons buttermilk*
1 tablespoons butter or margarine, cut up
2 cups bread flour
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon bread machine yeast

Measure all ingredients into bread machine pan in the order suggested by manufacturer, adding baking soda with flour. Process on basic/white bread cycle; use medium/normal crust color setting. Do not use delayed-bake feature. Remove bread from pan; cool on wire rack. * I always take the dough out of the machine after the 1st rising, put in a bread pan, cover and let rise 30 min. I then bake it for 30 ? 45 min. @ 350?F.

* Powdered buttermilk does not have to be mixed separately. I just add the powder with my flour and the water with the my other liquids and let it mix in the batter.
