For a richer flavor, substitute whole wheat flour for half of the all-purpose flour.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a quick substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 1/4 cups of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
Feel free to experiment with other dried fruits like currants or cranberries, or add a tablespoon of caraway seeds for a more savory bread.
To ensure even baking, rotate the bread halfway through the baking time.
