- 1 1/2 Tbsp Salt

Instructions
- Feed your starter the night before and allow it to sit on the counter over night.
- In the morning, in your bread mixer (I use a Bosch mixer) combine the starter, 3 cups of flour and 2 cups of room temperature buttermilk.
- Mix for about a minute, until combined, stop the mixer and allow it sit in the mixer until it doubles in size, mine took about 5 hours to double.
- After it doubles, cut the butter into cubes and add it to the dough and turn on mixer for 30 seconds.
- Then add sugar, salt, 3 cups of buttermilk and 5 cups of the flour.
- Mix on high for 10 minutes.
- Add 1 cup of flour at a time until the dough pulls away from the sides and the bottom of the mixing bowl. Dough be slightly sticky but manageable.
- Oil a large mixing bowl, put the dough into the oiled bowl and cover with a dish towel or plastic wrap.
- Allow to raise in a warm area for 2-3 hours, until it doubles in size.
- After it doubles, punch dough down, and place onto a clean floured surface.
- Divide dough into 4 equal pieces, shape into a loaf and place into a greased bread pan.
- Cover the dough and allow to raise for another 2-3 hours in a warm place.
- After dough doubles, score the top of the loaf with a bread knife or razor blade to allow the dough more room for expansion when it cooks.
- Pre-heat oven to 375°F
- Bake for 30 minutes, until golden brown on top.
- Remove from oven and butter the top of the bread to keep the bread soft.
- Remove from the bread pans and transfer to a cooling rack to allow to cool and ENJOY!
