What is Cebularz?
Cebularz is a round, flat bread. It has a soft, chewy texture. The onions on top become sweet and soft when baked. The poppy seeds add a nice crunch. It's often eaten cold as a snack or part of a meal.
Where Does Cebularz Come From?
Cebularz has a long history in Lublin. The recipe has been passed down through many generations. People have been baking it for a very long time. We have written records about it from the 1800s.
Jewish bakers in Lublin were the first to make and sell cebularz. They sold it in the Lublin Old Town. Before World War II, this bread was already very popular. People all over the Lublin Voivodeship enjoyed it.
Cebularz: A Special Food
Cebularz is not just any bread. It's officially recognized as a traditional Polish product. In 2007, it was added to a special list by the Polish Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. This means it's an important part of Polish food heritage.
Later, in 2014, cebularz received even more recognition. The European Union added it to their list of Geographical Indications and Traditional Specialities. This protects its name and origin. It means that only cebularz made in the Lublin region, following the traditional recipe, can be called "Cebularz Lubelski." This helps keep its unique history and quality safe.
