Ingredients
Buttermilk
Buttermilk is a fermented dairy product that adds moisture and tanginess to the bread. 1 cup of buttermilk is required for this recipe. Its acidity reacts with baking soda to create a tender crumb.
All-Purpose Flour
You will need 2 cups of all-purpose flour for the base of your bread. This versatile ingredient provides structure while allowing the bread to rise beautifully during baking.
Sugar
1 cup of granulated sugar adds sweetness to balance the flavors in your bread. The sugar also helps create a lovely golden crust when baked.
Baking Soda
Use 1 teaspoon of baking soda as a leavening agent. It reacts with buttermilk to give your bread its light and airy texture.
Salt
A pinch of salt (about ½ teaspoon) enhances all the flavors in your ingredients. It acts as a flavor booster without making the bread taste salty.
Eggs
You will need 2 large eggs for this recipe. They contribute richness and moisture while helping bind everything together.
Chopped Pecans
1 cup of chopped pecans provides crunch and nuttiness in every bite. Toasting them before adding enhances their flavor significantly.
