Bush bread or seedcakes refers to the bread made by Australian Aborigines for many thousands of years made by crushing seeds into a dough after which it is baked. The bread was high in protein and carbohydrate and helped form part of a balanced traditional diet.With the arrival of Europeans and pre-milled white flour this bread-making process all but disappeared (women were still recorded to be making seedcakes in Central Australia in the 1970s).
