Buttermilk bread

Had loads of buttermilk when I removed butter from the curd that day, and kept thinking the best way to use it. Ofcourse I use buttermilk for kneading the dough, making traditional Kerala curries, use it for making dhoklas too. But googled further to find a recipe for baking which uses butter milk . And finally a bread recipe which uses buttermilk, what better way than to make use of it than for baking for baking bread :). And voila it came out good too. I am sharing the recipe below

Ingredients

2 cups buttermilk
2 tbsps. olive oil

2 tbsps. sugar
