Each bite of this traditional loaf is dotted with raisins. My family considers this my best ever bread recipe. I hope you agree. Ingredients:
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3 tablespoons cold butter |
1 cup buttermilk |
1/2 cup raisins |
additional melted butter |
additional flour |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in buttermilk just until moistened. Fold in raisins.
2. Knead on a floured surface for 8-10 times. Shape into a 7-in. round loaf; place on a greased baking sheet. With a sharp knife, cut a 1/4-in.-deep cross on top of the loaf.
3. Bake at 375° for 25-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack. Brush with additional butter. Cool. Dust with additional flour. Yield: 1 loaf.
