Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 egg
- ¾ cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°.
- In a large bowl sift together the flours, baking soda, and sea salt, and then whisk until combined.
- Form a well and add in the buttermilk and egg and whisk until the egg is mixed into the buttermilk.
- Pour in the raisins and then using your hands mix all of the ingredients together to form a dough.
- Transfer the dough to a clean surface dusted with flour and form it into a ball.
- Place the dough onto a cookie sheet tray lined with parchment paper and slightly flatten it, so that it’s about 2” to 3” thick.
- Using a knife make two slices about ¾” deep forming a cross.
- If you want, you can sprinkle on 1-2 tablespoons of turbinado or coarse sugar at this stage.
- Bake at 400° for 35-40 minutes or until browned on top and cooked in the center.
- Cool to room temperature before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Chef Notes:
- Make-Ahead: You can make this bread up to 1 day ahead of time.
- How to Store: Cover and keep at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can cover it and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. This bread will freeze well covered for up to 3 months. Thaw it in the refrigerator for 1 day before serving.
- If you do not have buttermilk, you can make it by whisking together 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice with 1 cup of whole milk.
- The bread should reach 195° internally when finished.
- If for some reason your dough is a little dry, add in 1-2 tablespoons of water, or simply wet your hands, while mixing the dough together.
