Salt Rising Bread, also called salt-risen bread, is a dense, white bread that develops its unusual flavor from a unique fermentation process. While its origin remains uncertain, in the United States it is thought to have first been made in the early 1800s.  It may also have been made in certain European countries prior to that time.  Salt Rising Bread has a history of having been made all over the United States but achieved great popularity in the central and southern Appalachian states (West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and Kentucky) as well as southern California, Michigan, and central New York state.              More about the bread...
