Seed Loaf (Bara Carawe) is an East African bread recipe traditionally baked in Tanzania as a breakfast snack. It has a crunchy crust and a light, tender crumb, thanks to the use of caraway seeds. The seeds give the bread a distinct aroma and taste, which is why they are a staple ingredient in East African cuisine. This recipe requires simple ingredients that can easily be found in supermarkets. It can be enjoyed on its own or served with butter, cream cheese, or jam.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C and grease a loaf tin.
2.	In a bowl, sift together flour and baking powder.
3.	In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar until smooth.
4.	Beat in eggs and caraway seeds.
5.	Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, alternating with milk.
6.	Pour the batter into the greased tin and bake for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
