Grease a 9 inch round baking pan or a baking sheet.
In a mixing bowl, combine flour (reserve 1 tablespoon in your measuring cup), sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. If you're using raisins and caraway seeds, add them in.
-In a smaller bowl, blend eggs, buttermilk, and sour cream.
Stir the buttermilk egg mixture into the flour mixture just until the flour is moistened.
Knead the dough in a large bowl or on a lightly floured surface for about 10 to 12 strokes. The more you knead the bread the denser your bread will come out.
Note that the dough will be sticky, that is okay!
-Place the dough in the prepared pan and pat down.
Using a sharp knife, cut a 4 x 3/4 inch deep slit in the top of the bread.
Dust the top of the bread with 1 Tbsp flour.
-Bake in preheated oven for 65 to 75 minutes.
Let cool to room temperature (about 30 minutes) and turn the bread out onto a wire rack.
