| 5-1/2 | C | all-purpose flour |
| 3 | tbsp. | sugar |
| 2 | pkg. | Fleischmann's Rapid Rise Yeast |
| 2 | tsp. | salt |
| 1/4 | tsp. | baking soda |
| 1 | C | buttermilk |
| 1 | C | water |
| 1/3 | C | butter or margarine - cut up |
In large bowl, combine 3 cups flour, sugar, undissolved yeast, salt and baking soda. Heat buttermilk, water and butter until very warm (120 to 130F). Butter does not need to melt; mixture will appear curdled. Stir into dry ingredients. Stir in enough remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
Divide dough in half; roll each 10 12x7 inch rectangle. Beginning at short end, roll up tightly; pinch seam and ends to seal. Place each seam side down, in greased 8x4 inch loaf pan. Cover; let rise in warm draft-free place until doubled in size, about 30 to 45 minutes.
Bake at 375F for 30 to 35 minutes or until done. Remove from pans; cool on wire rack. Yield 2 loaves.
