• Switch to the dough hook on a stand mixer (or a wooden spoon if mixing by hand), and add the flour, yeast and 1 1/8 cups of the buttermilk.
• Mix on low speed until the dough comes together into a ball and clears the sides of the bowl.
• Knead for 10-12 minutes (12-15 if kneading by hand) until the dough is smooth and silky, a bit tacky but not sticky at all. If it's very sticky, add a bit more flour, a tablespoon at a time, if it's very dry and not coming together add a bit more buttermilk, a tablespoon at a time.
