1878 TURNIP BREAD.
The Southern Household Companion
Mrs. Mary L. Edgeworth
Turnips, mashed
Wheat meal
Let the turnips be peeled, and boiled in water till soft and tender; then strongly press out the juice, mix well together, and when dry, beat or pound very fine, and mix with their weight of wheat meal; then season as you do other bread, and knead it up thin, letting the dough remain a little to ferment ; make the dough into loaves, and bake it like common bread.
Did we eat it? Yes
Would I make it again? Yes
Note: This was not enough of a recipe for me but I wanted to try it, so I went online and looked up a potato bread recipe and substituted turnip instead.
