Irish Soda Bread - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. sifted all-purpose flour
2 c. unsifted whole wheat flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 c. golden raisins, chopped
2 tsp. caraway seed
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 c. buttermilk

Preparation

Heat oven to 375\u00b0.
Combine flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Stir in raisins and caraway seed.
Add enough buttermilk to make a dough that is firm, but not dry.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until it is smooth, 2 or 3 minutes.
Shape the dough into a round loaf and, using a sharp knife, slash a large X 1/4-inch deep across the top. Place loaf on a lightly greased baking sheet and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the bottom of the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.
