< In a large bowl, mix your dry ingredients: wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, baking soda, salt. In a second bowl, mix together the wet ingredients: buttermilk, egg, olive oil, and honey. Pour wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Add currants. Stir with a wooden spoon until well mixed and a soft sticky dough is formed.
< Flour a surface for kneading and knead lightly (20 turns max). The dough will be very wet -- this is correct, you did not add too much liquid. Form the dough into a ball. Place the dough ball into the floured baking pan, and with a knife cut a cross across the top. Place in the oven for 45 minutes. (The cutting of the cross helps to portion the bread for slicing in quarters.)
