--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   5               cups  all-purpose flour
   1                cup  sugar
   1         tablespoon  baking powder
   1 1/2      teaspoons  salt
      1/2      teaspoon  baking soda
      1/2           cup  unsalted butter -- cut into cubes, room 
temperature, (1 stick)
   2 1/2           cups  raisins
   3        tablespoons  caraway seeds
   2 1/2           cups  buttermilk
   1              large  egg

Preheat oven to 350F. Generously butter heavy ovenproof 10- to 
12"diameter skillet with 2- to 2 1/2" high sides. Whisk first 5 
ingredients in large bowl to blend. Add butter; using fingertips, rub 
in until coarse crumbs form. Stir in raisins and caraway seeds. Whisk 
buttermilk and egg in medium bowl to blend. Add to dough; using 
wooden spoon, stir just until well incorporated (dough will be very sticky).

Transfer dough to prepared skillet; smooth top, mounding slightly in 
center. Using small sharp knife dipped into flour, cut 1" deep X in 
top center of dough. Bake until bread is cooked through and tester 
inserted into center comes out clean, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool 
bread in skillet 10 minutes. Turn out onto rack and cool completely. 
(Can be made I day ahead. Wrap tightly in foil; store at room temperature.)
