Instructions: |
Preheat oven to 400?.
Combine first 4 ingredients in a medium bowl. Lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups, level with a knife. Combine the flours, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl, and make a well in center of mixture.
Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until moist, stir in raisins. Stir with a wooden spoon until dough pulls together in a shaggy mass. Let rest 2 minutes.
Turn half of dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead 1 minute with floured hands (dough will feel sticky); shape dough into a 6-inch round loaf. Place on a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal. Repeat procedure with remaining dough. Make 3 diagonal cuts 1/4 inch deep across top of each loaf using a sharp knife.
Bake at 400? for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375? (do not remove loaves from oven); bake an additional 15 minutes or until bottoms sound hollow when tapped. Let stand 15 minutes before slicing. Yield: 2 loaves, 12 servings per loaf (serving size: 1 slice). |
