cottage loaf
Double-decker loaf
A cottage loaf is a traditional British bread formed from two round pieces of dough stacked one atop the other, the smaller on top, pressed together before baking.
The distinctive shape—like a snowman or a figure eight stood upright—makes it easy to tear apart for sharing: She pulled a chunk from the top of the cottage loaf.
