Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the 4 cups of flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or a hand mixer will work too).
- Add the butter and mix at low speed until the butter is mixed into the flour.
- Whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and orange zest in a separate bowl until very well combined.
- Slowly add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture and mix until just combined.
- Add a tablespoon of flour to the dried currants and mix until evenly coated. Side Note: This step helps ensure the currants won't sink to the bottom of the loaf while baking.
- Fold the dried currants into the dough until evenly combined.
- Dump the dough out onto a floured board and knead it a few times into a round loaf.
- Place the loaf on the prepared baking sheet and lightly cut an x into the top of the bread with a serrated knife.
- Place into the oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. When you tap the loaf, it should have a hollow sound.
- Cool on a baking rack. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy.
