Cissel bread?

My Google-fu is seriously lacking today as I just can't find anything about it. Any ideas?

Filed under:

Cissel, sissel, shissel

This is a Yiddish word that sometimes means caraway seed. Cissel bread is rye with caraway. There are many recipes available for seeded light ryes, sometimes referred to as Corn breads.
