Lammas Bread Recipes: Traditional Loaves for Lughnasadh

Lammas, or Lughnasadh, marks the first harvest and is traditionally celebrated with bread baked from the season’s new grain. Baking bread at this time is a sacred act—honouring abundance, the earth, and the cycle of life. In this post, you’ll find some delicious Lammas bread recipes that blend tradition, flavour, and seasonal magic.

Baking bread for Lammas is one of my favourite seasonal rituals. There’s something deeply grounding about working with your hands, using herbs from the garden, and shaping dough with intention. I love each of the recipes below and I highly recommend them for your own harvest celebration!
