Step 1
1. Add all the ingredients except buttermilk to a large bowl. Mix the dough with a large wooden spoon or by hand. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 15 minutes. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm, drafty place until the dough doubles in volume, about 1–2 hours.
