Servings: 8 breads
Calories: 270kcal
Equipment
- 1 large bowl
- 1 cutting board
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 3 cups all purpose flour
- 1½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1½ cups buttermilk whole milk
- ½ cup raisins or currants
- 1 egg beaten
- 2 tbsp rolled oats
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Mix the flours, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl.
- Gradually mix in the buttermilk until a rough dough forms. Add the raisins or currents and mix until they are distributed through the dough. The dough will be rough and crumbly.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead it until the raisins are mixed throughout, and the dough becomes smooth - about 3 - 4 minutes.
- Roll the dough into a log and cut it into 8 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece of dough into a ball and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving at least 1-inch around each roll. Brush each roll with the beaten egg and sprinkle them with oatmeal.
- Place the baking sheet in the middle of a preheated oven and bake for 25 – 30 minutes, or until browned and firm. They should have a “hollow” sound when tapped.
- Remove the rolls from oven and place the baking sheet on a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve the rolls with butter and honey, or jam.
