Buttermilk Blue Cheese Bread (ABM)

Your bread machine is about to earn its counter space.

This savory loaf combines the tang of powdered buttermilk with half a cup of crumbled blue cheese and a generous handful of fresh parsley, all baked into a tender, crusty bread with zero kneading required.

The blue cheese melts into pockets throughout the crumb, giving you little bursts of funky, salty richness in every slice.

Serve it warm alongside a hearty beef stew, or toast thick slices and top with honey for a sweet-savory snack that’ll ruin regular bread for you.

Pro Tips

• Use a strong, bold blue cheese like Roquefort or Gorgonzola for the most flavor. Mild blue cheese tends to disappear during baking.
• Add the blue cheese at the mix-in beep if your machine has one, so it stays in chunks rather than dissolving into the dough.
• Powdered buttermilk keeps indefinitely in the pantry and works better than liquid buttermilk in bread machines since it won’t throw off hydration.
