A brilliantly simple breakfast bread requiring no yeast, no kneading and no proving. Ready in an hour!

Ingredients

500 g (4 cups + 2 tbsp) plain (all-purpose) flour ( plus a little extra for sprinkling the baking sheet)

100 g (1/2 cup) caster sugar

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

200 g (1 cup) juicy raisins (or other dried fruit if you prefer)

1/4 tsp salt

2 large eggs

250 ml (1 cup + 2 tsp) buttermilk

50 g (3 tbsp + 1 tsp) melted butter (just melted - not boiling hot - as this will scramble the eggs)

Method

Preheat your oven to 175C/350F (fan). Take a baking sheet and sprinkle with a small handful of flour

In a large bowl, combing the flour, caster sugar, baking powder, baking soda, raisins, and salt. Give everything a mix. This is your dry mix.

Break the eggs into a cup and whisk gently with a fork for a few seconds. Pour all but 1 tbsp. of the egg into a separate bowl. Add in the buttermilk and melted butter and mix. This is your wet mix.

Pour your wet mix into your dry mix and stir until you get a nice sticky dough. Don't overmix or you'll end up with tough bread. If you don't mind getting a bit sticky, you can do this stage with your hands. Form the dough into a rough cob or ball shape and place on your prepared baking sheet.

Using a sharp knife, make a large cross in the middle - cutting about 1 inch into the bread. Using a pastry brush, give the whole loaf a egg wash using the reserved egg. Place in the over and cook for 45-50 minutes until the bread looks golden.

Take out of the oven and leave to cool for 10 minutes before cutting up and serving with butter, or toasting and serving with butter.
