📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prep the oven. Heat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a 9- or 10-inch cast iron skillet or line a baking sheet with parchment.
2
Mix the dry ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, sugar, and baking soda until evenly combined. Stir in the currants, if using.

3
Add the wet ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, buttermilk, and melted butter. Pour into the flour mixture and stir gently with a wooden spoon or spatula just until a shaggy dough forms. Avoid overmixing.

4
Shape the loaf. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead just a few times until it comes together. Shape into a round loaf and transfer to the prepared pan or baking sheet.
5
Score the top. Lightly dust the top of the dough with a bit of flour (this helps keep the knife from sticking), then use a sharp knife to cut a deep “X” across the top of the loaf.
6
Bake. Bake for 40–⏱️ 45 minutes, until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
7
Cool slightly. Let cool on a wire rack for at least ⏱️ 10 minutes before slicing.
