 Total Time 55 minutes
 Servings 8 servings
Ingredients
3 cups Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 Gluten-Free Flour Blend, (see note) (15 ounces / 425 grams)
⅓ cup granulated sugar (2 ½ ounces / 70 grams)
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons cold butter, cut into 4 pieces (2 ounces / 56 grams)
½ cup raisins
2 teaspoons caraway seeds
1 cup buttermilk, plus additional as needed (8 ounces / 226 grams)
1 large egg, whisked (about 2 ounces / 56 grams out of shell)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375℉. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Whisk gluten-free flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Mix in cold butter with a pastry cutter or your fingers until no large pieces of butter remain.

Add buttermilk and egg. Stir until a dough forms. Stir in raisins and caraway seeds.

If the dough seems dry, add additional buttermilk, one tablespoon at a time until dough holds together.

Lightly dust your counter with gluten-free flour. Knead the dough a few times until it holds together. Then pat it into a round. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Cut a cross into the top of the loaf with a sharp knife. Doing this helps the loaf to rise.

Bake until center is set and loaf is golden brown, about 45 minutes. If loaf gets too dark before the center is baked, cover with foil.

Store leftover bread on the counter. Loaf keeps for up to three days but tastes best the day it's baked.

To Freeze: Let bread cool. Cut into slices. Place a piece of parchment paper between each slice. Freeze in a freezer bag or container for up to three months.

Recipe Notes
Gluten-Free Flour

Replacing the gluten-free flour with a different flour can change the texture of the bread. If your mix does not include xanthan gum, add ½ teaspoon to the flour blend and whisk together with the flour before using.
