Handle the dough with a light touch to avoid developing too much gluten, which can result in a tough bread. Buttermilk adds a characteristic tang to this bread. If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute with milk soured with a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar. The 'X' scored on top of each loaf isn't just for aesthetics; it helps the bread bake more evenly by allowing steam to escape. For a richer flavor, try adding a handful of raisins or currants to the dough. This bread is best enjoyed fresh, but it can also be toasted or used for sandwiches.
