Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 ½ tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
4 tbl. sugar
1 ½ tbl. caraway seeds
1 cup raisins or currants
1 ¾ cups well-shaken buttermilk
1 tbl. unsalted butter, melted
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degree. Butter and flour a large baking sheet, shaking off excess flour. Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl. Stir in sugar, caraway seeds, and raisins. Add buttermilk and stir just until dough is evenly moistened but still lumpy.

Transfer dough to a well-floured surface and gently knead with floured hands about 8 times to form a soft but slightly less sticky ball. Halve dough and form into 2 balls.

Pat out each ball into a domed 6-inch round on baking sheet. Cut a ½ inch deep X onto each loaf with a sharp knife, then brush with butter.

Bake in middle of oven until golden brown and bottom sounds hollow when tapped about 35-40 minutes. Transfer loaves to rack to cool completely.
