Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead with hands until the bread forms a ball. Brush dough with melted butter and buttermilk.

4

Cut the dough in half to make 2 smaller loaves or 1 large loaf. Press it down and round the edges and then cut an ‘X’ in the top of the loaf.

Bake

Bake at 350°F for 45 to 55 minutes, brushing the remaining buttermilk mixture on top halfway through.

Sweet Version with Raisins

Mix in 1 cup of raisins. Sprinkle with sugar after brushing the butter on top before baking.

Expert Tip

Don't overmix your dough. A shaggy dough leads to a craggy crust which is what we are after in this bread.

Enjoy warm with jam, butter or honey!
