Cracklin Bread is a delicious, savory recipe from the American South. It has been around since the early 1900s and is still popular today. The bread gets its name from the crunchy topping of fried pork rinds, pork skin or pork cracklings that are mixed in with cornmeal (used mainly for corn bread), butter, and other ingredients to create a hearty, tasty loaf. You can also find recipes with pork belly online if that's what you prefer.
Cracklin Bread can be eaten as a side dish, snack, or even dessert. Although it is a very traditional dish, it can be made with various ingredients to suit individual tastes.
For example, our version of this great recipe eschews corn meal for protein-rich almond flour. Corn flour is used for the traditional cornbread or cracklin cornbread.
The key to good Cracklin Bread is finding the right balance between crunchy and chewy. If the cracklins are too tough, they will detract from the experience of enjoying the soft, warm bread. Plus, it can be difficult to bite into them without breaking your teeth!
The ideal texture of the cracklins should be relatively crunchy, but with some give when you bite into them. This will provide a texture contrast with the doughy bread that makes Cracklin Bread so enjoyable. Additionally, the desired crunchiness can be achieved by frying them briefly in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy.
