Cockle bread

Cockle bread is a special kind of bread that was made a long time ago in England. It is called "cockle" because the bread looks like the little shells that are found on the beach.

Making cockle bread is not easy. You have to mix the dough with flour, yeast, water, and salt, and then let it rise so it gets big and fluffy. Then you make little balls of dough and put them on a special board that has a pattern on it. This pattern makes the bread look like a shell when it is baked.

When the bread is done, it is very special to eat because it is crunchy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. People in England used to eat cockle bread with their meals because it was a way to fill up and get energy for the day.

Today, cockle bread is not as popular as it used to be, but some people still like to make it because it is a fun way to make bread and it looks very pretty when it is done.
