What is Sally Lunn Bread?
A Sally Lunn-type bread is a sweet bread similar to a brioche or a teacake. This recipe goes back centuries, to the 1700s when it is believed to have originated in the spa town of Bath in southwest England. However, details surrounding how it came to be are a bit unknown. One theory is that this recipe got its name from the title Soleil et lune which is French for sun and moon, representing the golden crust and fluffy white interior of the bread.
The Sally Lunn Eating House in Bath, England claims the recipe was brought to the region in the late 1600s by a refugee named Solange Luyon, who became known as Sally Lunn. We arent sure which theory to believe, but we know this: Sally Lunn bread is scrumptious and we love it!
