Description
A delicious raisin bread that is perfect for breakfast or a snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 Cup white sugar
- 4 Cup all-purpose flour (divided)
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 Cup raisins
- 1 Tbsp caraway seeds (optional)
- 2 eggs (lightly beaten)
- 1 1/4 Cup buttermilk
- 1 Cup sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease a 9 inch round baking pan or a baking sheet.
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour (reserve 1 tablespoon in your measuring cup), sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. If you’re using raisins and caraway seeds, add them in.
- In a smaller bowl, blend eggs, buttermilk, and sour cream.
- Stir the buttermilk egg mixture into the flour mixture just until the flour is moistened.
- Knead the dough in a large bowl or on a lightly floured surface for about 10 to 12 strokes. The more you knead the bread, the denser your bread will come out.
- Note that the dough will be sticky, that is okay!
- Place the dough in the prepared pan and pat down.
- Using a sharp knife, cut a 4 x 3/4 inch deep slit in the top of the bread.
- Dust the top of the bread with 1 Tbsp flour.
- Bake in preheated oven for 65 to 75 minutes.
- Let cool to room temperature (about 30 minutes) and turn the bread out onto a wire rack.
Notes
- Ensure to reserve 1 tablespoon of flour for dusting.
- The dough’s stickiness is normal and necessary for the texture of the bread.
