FAQs

What is cob loaf made from?

The main ingredient of the humble cob loaf is a cob! While a white cob is a staple in cob loaf recipes, there are plenty of other options like sourdough and rye. As for the filling, that’s all down to what you feel like. From savoury to sweet, the options are endless!

Is cob loaf Australian?

The cob loaf isn’t Australian – that we know of. Food connoisseurs alike actually don’t know where the cob loaf originated from. However, its lack of origins hasn’t stopped it from becoming a party favourite, particularly in Australia.  

Can you reheat cob loaf the next day?

You can absolutely reheat your cob loaf – if there’s any left over! While it does taste best fresh, you can simply wrap it in alfoil and pop it into the oven for around 20 minutes. Then, serve as normal.
