[Sca-cooks] true medieval bread recipes

[David Friedman]

Is the braided Jewish bread from a period recipe? I haven't seen that.

I looked at the four bread recipes that I found on your blog with a 
search for "bread." I don't think you quoted a period source for any of 
them, and when I tried clicking on the footnote references I got

" Your current account (daviddfriedman at gmail.com) does not have access 
to view this page. "

The millet bread was cited to a secondary source--does it cite a period 
recipe or only the fact that they made bread from millet?

The mollete links to an online source which doesn't seem to make any 
claim that it's period.

I couldn't figure out where the other two were from.

/Manuscrito Anonimo/ has two bread recipes that I know of: Recipe for 
Folded Bread from Ifriqiyya and Loaf Kneaded with Butter. al-Andalus is 
western geographically speaking, but from a culinary standpoint I would 
lump it in with al-Warraq, which has several more bread recipes.

I don’t seem to have any from Sent Sovi or Nola but I do have a few from Fadalat and from Anon Al-Andalus.  To date, I haven’t adapted all of those. The Hispano-Muslim bread recipes are mostly for flatbread. Also there is one of favorite blogs which contains a recipe for braided Jewish bread. I have published blog using a bread recipe  from Curye on Inglish. Perhaps there are more.
