When I was small, my mother bought a loaf occasionally. She would slice it so thin there was only one side to the slice, but with real butter on it, I found it delicious. I searched for it after I was married in order to introduce it to my family, but found only a German baker who knew of it. He had discontinued baking it for lack of demand, Is it available today? Where? Is it a German tradition? Stan from Livonia

Stan, My father in later years used to ask for salt rising bread. Seems his mother who was German always made it when he was a child. I could not find a recipe at the time. I since have seen a mix for it from a specialty place so it is available. I have not tried it yet. Chris -----Original Message----- From: Stanley A.
