Steps:
- Sift dry ingredients into a large bowl.
- Add dried currants and mix with a wooden spoon.
- Add the buttermilk and mix with a wooden spoon until it forms a sticky dough. If the dough is overly sticky, add a little more flour.
- Knead dough a few times in the mixing bowl or on a floured surface until it forms a round loaf. It will start out sticky and crumbly but after you knead it a few times, the dough will come together.
- Shape dough into a round and place in a Dutch oven with a lid.
- Cut two criss-cross slices into the top of the bread with a knife (see photo above). Brush the leftover buttermilk over the top of the bread.
- Bake covered for 30 minutes at 425F/215C and then about 15 minutes uncovered. The bread is done when golden brown and the internal temp is 180F/82C.
- Let bread cool on a wire rack. Place a couple pats of butter over the bread and let them melt as the bread cools.
