Currant bread

Made some currant bread today. Only took a few minutes to put together. I used the electric mixer to make it a bit easier.

Preheat your oven to 200 C.

Throw the following in a bowl:

500g plain white flour
good pinch of salt
120g of sultanas or currants
2 teaspoons of sugar
1 teaspoon of baking soda
300 ml of buttermilk
1 egg


Give the whole lot a good mix. Dust your hands with some flour and shape the dough into a ball in the bowl. Put a layer of non stick cooking paper on a baking sheet. Grease this with some butter or margarine. Turn the dough out on to this and shape it into a rough round. Cut a deep cross into the top of the loaf. Bake for 45 minutes. Tap it on the base to make sure its done.
