For a richer flavor, use European-style butter with a higher fat content. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a quick substitute by adding 1 1/2 tablespoons of lemon juice or white vinegar to a measuring cup, then filling it with milk to reach 1 1/2 cups. Let it stand for 5 minutes before using. Feel free to experiment with other dried fruits or nuts, such as cranberries, currants, or chopped walnuts. To prevent the raisins from sinking to the bottom of the bread, toss them with a tablespoon of flour before adding them to the dough. This bread is best enjoyed within 2-3 days of baking. Store it in an airtight container at room temperature.
