Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°.
Dry:
Mix all your dry ingredients besides the butter and raisins together.
240 g(2cups) Keto Wheat Baking Flour or sub equal parts AP flour, 210 g(2.75cups) All Purpose Flour, 12 g(1tbsp) Zero Calorie Sweetener, Pinch of Salt, 1 tsp Baking Soda
Then cube your butter and crumble into the flour with your hands until roughly incorporated.
70 g(5tbsp) Unsalted Butter
If using raising, add them in now and mix with a spoon.
80 g(0.5cups) Raisins
Wet:
Create a well in the middle and pour in your buttermilk. Then crack in your egg. Gently start to fold in the mixture.
420 ml(1.75cups) 1% Lowfat Buttermilk, 1 Large Brown Egg
Once very loosely incorporated, transfer to a floured surface and mix with your hands until a dough forms.
30 g(0.25cups) All Purpose Flour
Shaping:
No kneading but loosely press around the dough until a round ball forms. Do not over mix!
Bake:
Line your Dutch oven (or loaf pan) with lightly floured parchment paper.
Add your dough and use a knife to cut an X on top, about half an inch into the dough.
Bake until golden brown for 35-45 mins. Keep an eye on it as oven temperatures vary.
After roughly 25 mins, I covered the top with foil to ensure it didn’t burn. Use a toothpick to check if the middle comes out clean.
Serve:
Cut into slices and enjoy warm with some butter!
Store:
Keep in an airtight container on your counter for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week!
