Crumble the yeast into a large bowl and mix with the honey. Add lukewarm water, buttermilk, salt, and vinegar. Add the flour and knead until a smooth dough forms (the amount of flour can vary by +/- 150 g). Cover the dough and let it rise for a good half hour, until it has doubled in size. Shape the dough into 3 loaves, place them on a prepared baking sheet, and let them rise for another 30 minutes. Place in a preheated oven at 200°C (top/bottom heat) (no fan!). After 20 minutes of baking, reduce the temperature to 160°C. The bread needs about 45-50 minutes in the oven.
