Preparation

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
• In a bowl combine the flours, the sugar, the baking soda, and the salt. Cut in the butter; then stir in the raisins.
• In a separate bowl or measuring cup whisk together the buttermilk and the egg. Stir this mixture into the flour just until combined.
• Divide the dough into two clumps and knead each one briefly on a lightly floured board until they hold together as balls. Place them on the prepared sheet.
  
• Break the bread for 15 minutes; then reduce the heat to 375 and bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, until it is golden brown. Makes 2 small loaves.
