3 to 3 ½ cups of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons salt
1 ½ cups buttermilk (shake the bottle before pouring)
1 cup raisins
And here are the original instructions from the Stay at Home Chef:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
In large bowl whisk together 2 ½ cups flour, salt, and baking soda. Add in your buttermilk and raisins (if using) and stir until it just comes together.
Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead until it forms a smooth ball. Gradually add more flour as necessary to achieve a dough that is firm and not sticky.
Dust the outside with flour and place on an un-greased baking sheet. Use a sharp knife to slash a one inch deep cross on top of the loaf.
Bake in oven for 35 minutes or until golden brown.

Designing Type by Karen Cheng is an incredible reference, but its not exactly the best way to get started designing your own type IMO. I'd suggest Designing Fonts by Chris Campe & Ulrike Rausch. It's much more of a practical guide and takes you all the way through the type design process from ideation to sketching to vector drawing and letter spacing.
I also found The Stroke: Theory Of Writing by Gerrit Noordzij really helpful for conceptually understanding how to construct letters.

In addition to Cheng and Beier, get Bergsland Practical Font Design and fontmaking software (such as FontLabs). Have fun! If you want to get fancy, check out TypeDrawers, and The OpenType Cookbook.

The Hack license comes in three parts. The Bitstream Vera license must be maintained based upon the language and includes reserved font names for "Bitstream" and "Vera" along with other stipulations.
