Sally Lunn bread is a slightly sweet, brioche-like bread. It is believed to have been named for a late 18th century baker, named (what else?!) Sally Lunn, in Bath, England. Good fresh out of the oven or topped with jam, whipped cream or berries for any anytime of the day special treat. Try baking in Bundt pan for an attractive presentation.
