Crackling bread is mentioned in the novel ''[[To Kill a Mockingbird]]''. It is the narrator's, Scout's, favorite snack. Calpurnia, the family's cook, prepared it for Scout after her first day at school. "It was not often that she made crackling bread, she said she never had time, but with both of us at school today had been an easy one for her. She knew I loved crackling bread." Calpurnia and Scout had had an argument during lunch and to try to repair the bond between them she made crackling bread.<ref>"To Kill a Mockingbird", Harper Lee, Chapter 3</ref>
