Serves 4 to 6

Ingredients:

1 teaspoon salt
1½ teaspoon baking powder
1 cup milk
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
3 eggs, large
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
1/4 cup green onions (scallions), chopped

10 ounces crawfish tails, roughly chopped

Chef's note: Crawfish bread can basically be made two ways;many people make a crawfish mixture and spread it on the french bread. My recipe is different, I make a loaf of bread with all the seasonings and crawfish mixed in before baking.
