   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   4               cups  all-purpose flour -- plus extra for currants
   4        tablespoons  sugar
   1           teaspoon  baking soda
   1 1/2      teaspoons  kosher salt
   4        tablespoons  cold unsalted butter -- cut into 1/2" 
dice,  (1/2 stick)
   1 3/4           cups  cold buttermilk -- shaken
   1        extra-large  egg -- lightly beaten
   1           teaspoon  grated orange zest
   1                cup  dried currants

Prep: 20 min
Cook: 55 min
Total: 1:15

Preheat the oven to 375F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

Combine the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in the bowl of an 
electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the butter and 
mix on low speed until the butter is mixed into the flour.

With a fork, lightly beat the buttermilk, egg, and orange zest 
together in a measuring cup. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add 
the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture. Combine the currants 
with 1 tablespoon of flour and mix into the dough. It will be very wet.

Dump the dough onto a well-floured board and knead it a few times 
into a round loaf. Place the loaf on the prepared sheet pan and 
lightly cut an X into the top of the bread with a serrated knife. 
Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean. 
When you tap the loaf, it will have a hollow sound.

Cool on a baking rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
