For a richer flavor, try using whole wheat flour in place of half the all-purpose flour.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
Be careful not to over-knead the dough, as this can result in a tough bread.
Serve warm with butter, jam, or a drizzle of honey.
