Directions

Place raisins with balsamic in a bowl and let soak for at least one hour.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Combine all dry ingredients into a bowl. Add the cubed butter and olive oil. Mix with your hands, breaking the butter up into tiny pieces, until fully incorporated.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with the buttermilk. Add the buttermilk mixture and the drained raisins to the flour mixture. On a floured surface, knead the dough with your hands, adding additional flour as needed, into the shape of a round loaf. Place dough on a baking sheet lined with greased parchment paper. Cut an “X” into the top of the loaf. Sprinkle with raw sugar.
Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick or cake tester comes out clean when inserted into the loaf. The loaf should sound hollow when you tap it. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
