Ingredients

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

1 1/2 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

4 tbsp sugar

1 1/2 cups 1% buttermilk

3 oz 2/3 cup raisins

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°.

Mix all dry ingredients (first 5) in a large bowl with a whisk.

Slowly add buttermilk stirring with a wooden spoon until a soft dough is formed.

Add raisins, knead the dough lightly on a sheet of wax paper or a floured surface for about 1 minute.

Form into a round, slightly flattened shape.

Place on a cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.

Using a sharp knife, make an X at the top about 1/2 inch deep. Bake about 40 minutes, until golden.

To test if it's done, insert a toothpick into the bread, if it comes out clean it is done.

Let it cool on a bakers rack for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
