Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 100 grams rolled oats
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 60 grams unsalted butter
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams currants
- 240 milliliters buttermilk
- 1 large egg
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine.
Step 3
Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and rub it into the dry ingredients with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 4
Stir in the granulated sugar and currants, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg until well combined.
Step 6
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 7
Transfer the dough into the prepared loaf pan and smooth out the top with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.
Step 9
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Slice and serve the bread on its own, or pair with butter, jam, or honey for added sweetness.
