How it differs from similar foods
Compared to a standard white bread, buttermilk bread often has a softer texture and a subtle, pleasant tang from the buttermilk. This ingredient also helps to keep the bread moist for longer.

How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining bread fresh, store it in its original packaging or a bread box at room temperature. Avoid refrigeration, as this can cause the bread to dry out more quickly. Properly stored, it will remain soft for several days.
