At this point, you can leave the bread plain or you can add your favorite mix-ins. I like to use raisins because I usually have them on hand, but feel free to swap out the raisins for some dried currants instead.
Then, you’ll whisk together the wet ingredients: buttermilk and an egg.Keep in mind that regular buttermilk is thicker than the homemade version so you might not need quite as much if you make your own.
Once the wet ingredients are whisked together, you’ll pour them into the dry ingredients and gently stir until the dough starts to come together. The dough is a little sticky at first, but it will come together as you work it together.

Make sure to sprinkle a flat surface with flour, then turn the dough out on the floured surface. Add some flour to the top of the dough and your hands and carefully knead it together until it’s easy to work with. As I mentioned, the dough is sticky so don’t be afraid to add some more flour to it as you’re working it together.
Once you’ve formed the dough into a ball, place it on a baking sheet and cut an ‘X’ into the center. The ‘X’ will help the bread split evenly and create a prettier top as it bakes. You can also brush the top of the bread with some buttermilk before placing it in the oven to create a nice golden brown top on the bread, but this step isn’t required.
The bread will take anywhere from 45-60 minutes in the oven. You’ll know the bread is finished once a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
