Cabbage Loaf

Cabbage loaf is a round loaf of bread originating from Jersey. It is made with a combination of plain flour, yeast, sugar, margarine, salt, and water or milk. When the dough doubles in size, it is wrapped in greased cabbage leaves, lightly tied, then baked in an oven. The cabbage leaves impart a unique aroma to this unusual bread, which is still regularly made in Jersey bakeries.
