Butter Swim Bread

This Butter Swim Bread is golden, buttery, and irresistibly tender because it bakes right in a pool of melted butter. The butter gives the loaf crisp edges, a rich flavor, and a soft, biscuit-like crumb that melts in your mouth! It’s like turning the Butter Swim Biscuits into one big, irresistible loaf! Slice it warm from the pan, serve it with dinner, or enjoy it all on its own with a smear of jam. And if you love a cozy quick bread, this is about to become a favorite!
