Ingredients

  

• 4 cups all purpose flour and some extra for currants
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 4 tablespoons sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 4 tablespoons of cold and unsalted butter
• 1 3/4 cups of cold buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon grated orange zest

Instructions

 

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Take a sheet pan and line it with parchment paper.
• Combine your flour, baking soda, sugar, and salt into a bowl of an electric mixer. Add in your butter and mix the substances on low speed until the flour and butter have been mixed together.
• Take a fork and lightly beat the egg, buttermilk, and orange zest together inside of a measuring cup. While the mixer is on low speed, slowly add in the buttermilk mixture to the flour.
• Combine the currants and the 1 tablespoon of extra flour, and mix them into the dough. It's supposed to be wet.
• Dump the dough onto a board that has been well floured, and knead it inro a round load. Place said loaf onto the prepared sheet pan, and cut on X into the top of the bread with a knife.
• Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or use a cake tester until it comes out clean. Tap the loaf, and it should have a hollow sound.
• Leave to cool on a backing rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
