Sepik is an Estonian whole wheat bread. Sepik is prepared with wheat flour or with a mixture that can contain wheat, rye, and barley flour. Additionally it can contain bran.[1][2][3][4]
Traditionally the bread was served for the celebrations like New Year, Vastlapäev, or St. Martin's Day.[5][3] The direct predecessor of sepik is a barley bread known in South Estonia as karask.[6]
Many food companies in Estonia and other Baltic states make their own variations of sepik which differ from the traditional Estonian sepik.[7] It has been described as comparable to Graham bread in the U.S.[8][9]
