Recipe View To serve, slice each loaf about 3/4-inch thick, then cut each slice in half.

For a richer flavor, try using dark brown sugar instead of molasses.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute with milk mixed with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar per cup of milk.
The overnight fermentation is key to the bread's flavor, but you can refrigerate the dough for up to 2 days after the initial 12-hour fermentation if needed.
Dusting the loaves with a little extra flour before baking will give them a rustic, appealing look.
