Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, if using.
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and sugar.
In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, melted butter, and beaten egg.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix – a few streaks of flour are okay.
Gently fold in raisins/currants and/or caraway seeds, if using.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently form it into a round loaf, about 6-7 inches in diameter.
Place the loaf on the prepared baking sheet. Using a sharp knife or lame, score a deep cross (about 1/2 inch deep) on the top of the loaf. This helps it bake evenly.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Keep a close eye on it – ovens can vary!
Transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
