Bush Bread

Bush Bread is staple product prepared from Spinifex flour and water. It is one of the oldest type of manufactured food found in Sahul, some believe even older than agriculture itself.

Manufacturing process
Spinifex flour is mixed with water to make dough which in itself can be eaten raw however this dough is not suitable for storage or travel. To bake the dough it first gets wrapped in two coolamons. these coolamons then get buried inside a pile of hot coals and ash. After a few hours the bread is taken out of the ground and pricked with a stick to check if its done or not. If the stick is dry the bread will be allowed to cool of and is ready for eating.
