 (or Once-a-Year-Buns) Soda-raised wheatflour bread with carraway seeds, traditionally made for Good Friday and, presumably, raised without yeast to conform with the Jewish tradition of making forms of unleavened bread for passover. Caraway Soda Bread by Alex Bray…  Original Receipt from ‘Norwood News‘ – Friday 05 April 1935 Though Easter is late this year it is not too soon to look out recipes that will be handy. Starting with Good Friday, many people make Caraway Bread as well as Hot Cross Buns, and as this bread is best made on Wednesday, for eating on Friday, I will begin with that. Caraway Bread Ingredients 1/2lb. plain white flour, 1/2lb. wholemeal flour, one teaspoon cream of tartar, one teaspoon of bicar-bonate of soda, one teaspoon each of caster sugar and caraway seeds, a small 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix all together and make into a loaf with 1/2 pint of milk. Bake for 45 minutes in a good oven. The original source of this receipt isn’t known. Can you help?
