For a richer flavor, try using dark raisins or currants instead of golden raisins. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. The caraway seeds add a distinctive flavor, but you can omit them if you prefer. Serve warm with butter, jam, or a drizzle of honey.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round baking pan or a cast-iron skillet. (5 minutes)
02
Step
3 mins
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, raisins, caraway seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. (3 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. Add the beaten eggs, buttermilk, and milk. Stir gently until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. (5 minutes)
04
Step
2 mins
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape it into a round. Place the dough into the prepared pan. (2 minutes)
05
Step
1 mins
Using a sharp knife, cut a deep cross into the top of the loaf. This helps the bread bake evenly. (1 minute)
06
Step
1 mins
Brush the top of the loaf with melted butter, if desired, for a golden crust. (1 minute)
07
Step
1 hrs 15 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for 65-75 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, tent it loosely with foil. (75 minutes)
08
Step
10 mins
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. (10 minutes)
