Where's your dough coming from?

What kind of bread are you going to bake and give away?

Do you have a family recipe?

What's your national or regional speciality?

I'm from New Zealand and we have a bread called Rewana that is similar to Irish soda bread.

It was mostly likely inspired by Irish settlers as when the Maori first arrived the country was basically a thick and dense forest. The only vegetable they brought that survived their long voyage and the temperate climate was the kumara or sweet potato.

There is no yeast in a traditional rewana.

Here is a recipe that teaches you how to make the raising agent.
