Buckwheat Bread Rolls recipe in Cooking Around the World – Polish & Russian ISBN 13: 978-0-7548-1547-1. The recipe uses a combination of buckwheat (Kasza) and strong plain flour. A little nutty flavoured bread! Hope this is of help.

Dear Steve, Have you tried at the Pine Tree Polish bakery near the Cameo cinema, they might be able to help you. I also think another baker has set up in Leith somewhere. Just need to ask in the local Polski Deli’s. Pozdrawiam

My father was Polish so the family were raised on Polish foods. I have been trying to find somewhere to buy what we, and other Scots/Poles call sweet and sour bread. Can anyone help me find somewhere?
We used to get it at a Polich baker, what a baker, around Causwayside I think it was….just over the road from the picture house.

Hope to hear from someone.

Steve

Good question, although I’m sure there will be as many answers as there are people. It’s the most basic food and as Poland’s economy was mostly based on agriculture for many years, fresh bread symbolised successful harvest and symbolised family, home and I guess the spirit of togetherness. And until a few years ago, when big hypermarkets flooded Poland with cheap, mass-produced bread it was really good almost anywhere you went in Poland. It still is, only now you need to know where to go.

The bread in that picture looks delicious. It almost makes me regret I don’t eat bread anymore

Polish bread is wonderful. Please publish some recipes for the traditional breads. I have searched the internet for years but found nothing that comes close to replicating the fantastic breads I have tasted in Poland.

We have an excellent Polish Bakers – The Pine Tree Bakery in Tollcross, Edinburgh that supplies most of Edinburgh and Glasgow! Their doughnuts are twice the size of British ones and their cheesecake is delicious!

Does anyone have a good recipe for Sour Rye soup? I have the sour rye, chicken stock, a bit of sausage and a boiled egg – but not the ‘je ne sais quoi’!
