I am originally from butt f*** nowhere northern Ontario Canada. Raised in a French Canadian traditional household we ate what most would consider "far out" and "no way man" foods. Living off the land and loving every minute of it. I consider myself a Caniwi now but until I read this blog, I had not realized how solid kiwis are so similar to my family. Thanks mate, NZ is even more home to me now because of this blog. Great Job!

My mother always baked cabbage bread, but hers (I always thought it was a traditional Ukrainian recipe) also had a filling of dry curd cottage cheese, a small amount of chopped onion, lots of chopped dill leaves, and an egg to hold it together. The filling was wrapped in the bread dough, sealed, then the oval shaped loaf was put seam-side down on a large cabbage leaf which was placed on either Mom's old round cake tins or a tin pie plate. Another large cabbage leaf was then placed over the loaf, and the bread was allowed to rise between the cabbage leaves. When it was baked, the cabbage leaves would not only have given the crust a wonderful pattern and flavour, but also a unique texture from the steam they created while baking. I drool just thinking about this bread, warm from the oven!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834651462593410303.post-41878573302076487202011-09-21T17:59:00.541+12:002011-09-21T17:59:00.541+12:00Cheers great find, I baking bread everyday at the ...Cheers great find, I baking bread everyday at the moment so will enjoy doing something like thisBartonhttp://www.kiwizine.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834651462593410303.post-86954751745164099902011-08-21T04:12:38.721+12:002011-08-21T04:12:38.721+12:00I would like to taste this bread, It is so beautyf...I would like to taste this bread, It is so beautyfull and seems so good!!

Several generations of practise by British bakers can't be wrong!<br /><br />Ali/Paula-Satch/ - Thanks guys :)<br /><br />Laura - Maybe some chemical in the cabbage enhances the yeast notes present in the bread? Where's a scientist when you need one ;)<br /><br />MM - God, I remember when the first generation came out when I was a kid; frightening-looking things!<br /><br />Bronwyn - It's definitely worth a go.<br /><br />Ben - You're right! I figured they'd be a little under-coloured because they'd be wrapped, so increased the cooking time a tad.<br /><br />Vanille - Ah...

Though it appears I've still a thing or two to learn about getting the cabbage leaves off and nicely rolled. There was still a hint of something from the cabbage flavour wise but possibly less given the beer. <br />And texture wise it was almost half steamed/half baked, which was quite nice. Half way between a bun and a bao. <br /><br />Ta muchly for the idea.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10683156111034643595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834651462593410303.post-73819331885224793552011-07-01T14:25:00.482+12:002011-07-01T14:25:00.482+12:00Awesome!
