Salt-rising bread in New Jersey?
Does anyone know of a bakery/grocery store (can also be in Brooklyn if that also will get me what I want) that makes/sells salt-rising bread?
I've got such a craving for it, but it's all but fallen off the radar these days. I ordered some from a company online but it was pretty much in the beginning stale stage when I got it.
Please help *makes pouty face*

If you can't find the bread anywhere, King Arthur Flour sells a salt rising starter.

Oh, I guess I should have mentioned that I suck at baking, I don't have the time or patience to make my own bread. :-(
thank you though, I appreciate your suggestion!

You wanna come to Colorado, I'll bake you a loaf. I've got the stuff from King Arthur already, so I'm good to go. It's funny, I was just thinking that I should make that bread again soon. Maybe I should mail you a slice, eh?

@db- I've never been to Colorado, how's about Saturday? :P
@PM - you're getting coal in your stocking and Robin Hood boots under the tree. :P
I didn't see the lobster bread you're talking about though, but if I had to choose, I'd want.... Snuffleupagus!

@Bouthern ~ I've had coal in my stocking - tastes charred. Would you believe I used to be a Hood? Yup, that was my married name for 30 years. Would I kid ya? Course I would, but that was true. And no, I didn't name either daughter Robin, although we did live on Nottingham Lane once. True, true, and true. Also true, dbcurrie makes the most awesome looking bread - it has to be delicious, you can tell.

Saturday's good. You'll recognize me when you get to Colorado. I'll be the one brushing bread flour off my clothes.

@Bouthern ~ I don't think Perk was there for the "booty" chat yesterday.
Could someone please tell me what salt rising bread is?

@iz -- what chat? Did I miss some fun?
Salt rising bread is an old way of making bread where it's sort of fermented. Not quite like sourdough, but the same concept. I guess the salt inhibits the yeast, so that some other critter does the rising part. The end result tastes (to me) like there's cheese in it.

@iz ~ BOOTY. as in junk in the trunk, or as in treasure in the trunk? I already have enough junk, but some treasure would shirley come in handy. (yes, I know it's surely, but shirley is funnier)

@db ~ check the live chat thread again. bread sound yummy. I'll come to Colorado for that!
@Perk ~ teribithia was looking for flat boots yesterday. The ones she picked were UGLY!

@iz- damn, I thought she was in there!
salt-rising bread has a fabulous flavor... makes really good toast!
Here's where I bought some online last year:
