 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  4       c            All purpose/bread flour
  3       ts           Baking powder
  1       t            Salt to taste
    3/4   ts           Baking soda
  1       c            Raisins
  2                    Eggs
  1 1/2   c            Buttermilk

 Stir flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and
 raisins together. Separately, fork-blend eggs and
 buttermilk, then add to dry ingredients. Stir until
 sticky batter is formed. Scrape batter onto well
 floured surface and knead lightly. Shape batter into
 ball, then place in round non-stick casserole that has
 been sprayed with cooking spray. Mark a cross in the
 center, using a sharp knife. Bake uncovered in
 preheated 350 degree oven for about 1 1/4 hours.

 Wait 10-15 minutes before attempting to remove bread
 from casserole, then cool on wire rack. If desired,
 cut loaf into quarters and then slice thinly.
