Table of Gods

Huhhurtu was commonly offered in the temple of the god Ashur in the 13th century BC. The Assyrian bakers described it as “sweet stuff,“ and some of the ingredients were wheat flour, sesame oil, and dates.

Huhhurtu was strictly Assyrian, and was only baked in Ashur. Some scholars suggest it may be a forerunner of the Jewish bread challah. The theory is based on the Assyrian word huhhurtu being adopted into Aramaic as hhwrh and hhwrt, renderings of the biblical hallah (challah in English).

While challah is still baked on major Jewish holidays, the days of baking Assyrian huhhurtu are long gone—or are they?

Visit tableofgods.com/bread if you want to try it! And don't forget to spare a bite for Ashur :)

Improving the cover design with my design studio BankerWessel. We’re testing the shape, size, and alignment of the cuneiform signs that will be debossed (pressed into) the cover.

Fun fact: the cuneiform signs on the Table of Gods cover are the same ones used to write recipe no. 1 in the world’s oldest recipe collection. That means if you can read cuneiform and understand Akkadian, you could actually read the world’s oldest recipe straight off the cover. Time to learn Akkadian 🤓
