List of Ingredients



• 2 cups fat-free buttermilk
  
• 1/2 cup regular oats
  
• 1/4 cup unsulfured molasses
  
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  
• 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  
• 2 tablespoons sugar
  
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
  
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
  
• 1 cup raisins
  
• 1 tablespoon yellow cornmeal
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
   
   
2. Combine first 4 ingredients in a medium bowl. Lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flours, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl; make a well in center of mixture.
   
   
3. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until moist; stir in raisins. Stir with a wooden spoon until dough pulls together in a shaggy mass. Let rest 2 minutes.
   
   
4. Turn half the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead 1 minute with floured hands (dough will feel tacky); shape dough into a 6-inch round loaf. Place on a baking sheet dusted with cornmeal. Repeat procedure with remaining dough. Make 3 diagonal cuts 1/4-inch deep across top of each loaf using a sharp knife.
   
   
5. Bake at 400 for 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375 (do not remove loaves from oven); bake an additional 15 minutes or until bottom of each loaf sounds hallow when tapped. Let stand 15 minutes before slicing.
