Sepik (bread)

Sepik
Type	whole wheat bread
Place of origin	Estonia

Sepik is an Estonian whole wheat bread. Sepik is prepared with wheat flour or with a mixture that can contain wheat, rye, and barley flour. Additionally it can contain bran.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]

Traditionally the bread was served for the celebrations like New Year, Vastlapäev, or St. Martin's Day.^[5]^[3] The direct predecessor of sepik is a barley bread known in South Estonia as karask.^[6]

Many food companies in Estonia and other Baltic states make their own variations of sepik which differ from the traditional Estonian sepik.^[7] It has been described as comparable to Graham bread in the U.S.^[8]^[9]
