- 1999, Mildred Council, Mama Dip's Kitchen:
- Cornbread was on the table at each meal, but it was cooked in different ways: dog bread, milk bread, pone bread, fried bread, molasses bread, and clabber bread, which has a sour taste. The dog bread was put on the table each morning six days a week, cooked in a round cast-iron pan and cut like a pie to serve each person at the table.
- 2009, Bill Neal, Bill Neal's Southern Cooking:
- Dog bread is just about the simplest way to consume cornmeal, short of simply parching it and eating it out of the hand. Served hot, with lots of butter, these crisp griddle cakes have a charm that can pair them well with sophisticated beef and pork roasts.
-
- (dated) A bread made for dogs to consume; a dog biscuit.
- 1926 August 1, Boys' Life, page 57:
- The best things for dogs are meat — cooked, but a little raw meat at times does the dog good; hominy, dog bread, biscuits, bread, gravy, and in short everything you would eat yourself with the exception of potatoes and sweets. Do not eat dog bread yourself — you might grow a tail and bark.
