Butter Bread

What we know so far

Butter bread is the everyday loaf of the Ghanaian bakery, the one sold warm in the morning by the roadside and bought for sandwiches, for dipping in Milo or tea, and for eating with fried eggs or hausa koko. It is a soft, close-textured white loaf with a very soft crust, lightly sweet, enriched with margarine or butter and milk powder, and scented with nutmeg, the flavour that tells you it is Ghanaian. Tea bread and sugar bread are its cousins: tea bread plainer, sugar bread sweeter.

What claiming it means

1. Cook it the way you actually make it. Change anything in our draft that is wrong, and most of it probably is.
2. Photograph your own, so the page carries a real picture instead of somebody else's.
3. Send it in. An editor reads it, and it publishes with your name on it and a link to your profile.
