Irish Soda Bread

2 C flour
1-1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. caraway seeds
1/2 C. raisins
1 C. buttermilk

Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together.  (Or you can whisk them together in a bowl.)  Add in the raisins and caraway seeds.  Add enough buttermilk to make a soft dough.  Knead lightly on a  floured surface till stickiness disappears.  Grease an 8" round pan and place the dough in the center, then form it into a round loaf.  Cut an X on the top of the bread.  Bake at 375F for 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to 350F and bake another 20 minutes or so or until lightly golden brown on top and a toothpick comes out clean.
