Turnbread

This dense, hardy, wheat and barley bread, is traditionally baked as small, round loaves.

The name 'turnbread' refers to a longstanding legend that states that a loaf of this bread must be 'turned' (rotated) at least once while it's rising, or ill luck will descend upon anyone who consumes it.

Turnbread is a staple for many travelers because of its ability to keep for long periods -- as long as it remains reasonably dry.

Most loaves of turnbread have a thick, hard outer crust and a soft inner core.
