Salt bread is a popular Bajan roll originating from Barbados, known for its soft, fluffy texture and slightly salty flavor. Made with simple ingredients like flour, water, yeast, sugar, salt, and a touch of fat (often butter or shortening), it is a staple in Bajan cuisine. Traditionally served as the base for sandwiches filled with fried fish, ham, or cheese, salt bread pairs well with both savory and sweet fillings. Nutritionally, it provides energy through its carbohydrate content, but it is relatively low in fiber and protein. While its sodium content adds to its distinct taste, those monitoring their salt intake should enjoy it in moderation. Salt bread’s minimal use of sugar and absence of heavy fats makes it less calorie-dense than many other bread varieties, making it a satisfying yet simple choice for meals or snacks.
