Add the active dry yeast, water, and 1 tbsp honey to the bowl of a stand mixer. Mix and let stand for 5-10 minutes, until the yeast begins to bloom. If there is no activity after 10 minutes, discard and try new yeast.
Add the flour and salt, and mix with a spoon until a dough forms.
Fit the stand mixer with the dough attachment, and turn it on to begin the kneading process. With the stand mixer on, drizzle in the warmed buttermilk.
