1. Preheat up the oven to medium/high heat (375°F or 190°C). Put a cast iron pan in the oven at the same time if you have one. It will provide a crispier under.
2. In a large bowl, mix both Cascade Milling Organic Whole Wheat and All-Purpose flour with the sugar, baking soda and powder, and salt. Add the buttermilk and egg. Mix so it starts forming a ball. Incorporate the raisins.
3. Transfer the dough to a light flour board and finish kneading.
4. Pull the hot cast iron from the oven or use a greased baking sheet where to transfer the round-shaped dough.
5. In a small bowl, mix the buttermilk with the melted butter. Brush the loaf with the mixture.
6. Use a sharp knife to notch the top of the loaf.
7. Bake for 50 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. You can brush with the glaze a couple of times while baking.
8. Serve with whipped butter.
Tips:
- Substitute the raisins with dried cranberries and chopped walnuts.
- If you only have one of the Cascade Milling organic flour, they can be substituted:
o When using 4 cups of All Purpose flour, use only ¼ cup of milk (instead of ½ cup)
o When using 4 cups of Whole Wheat flour, use ¾ cup of milk (instead of ½ cup)
