## Ingredients

- 1.5 cups buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 4 tbsp butter
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1.5 cups raisins
- 2 tbsp caraway seeds

## Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 5qt dutch oven, 10”round casserole dish, or a 10” cast iron skillet.
2. Whisk the buttermilk and eggs together. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together.
4. Cut in the softened butter using a fork, pastry cutter, or clean fingers. Work until the butter is incorporated and the flour takes on a corn-meal like texture. Stir in the raisins and caraway seeds.
5. Pour in the buttermilk/egg mixture. Gently fold the dough together until all the flour is gone. Do not over mix.
6. Pour the dough onto a well floured surface. Flour your hands and the top of the dough. Work the dough into a ball.
7. Once round, lightly knead for about 30 seconds.
8. Place into your prepared baking dish.
9. Using a very sharp knife, score the top of the bread with an X or cross shape.
10. Bake with the lid off for 45-60 minutes, or until golden brown and knife-clean.
11. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Remove from the dutch oven and cool on a wired rack.
12. Serve warm with butter and jam!
