- "Five-blossom-bread, my specialty."
- ―Padmé Amidala, to Anakin Skywalker
Five-blossom bread was a kind of bread from the Mid Rim planet Naboo that could be consumed by humans[3] and Artiodacs.[1] During her childhood, Senator Padmé Amidala used to make the bread, and felt it a speciality of hers. During the Clone Wars, the senator was given some of this bread by a Naboo ambassador. She saved it for a special occasion and offered it when her husband Anakin Skywalker visited her in her apartment.[2] Saché, one of Amidala's handmaidens, considered five-blossom bread to be one of her favorites.[3]
At some point after the Battle of Takodana[1] in 34 ABY[4] the chef Strono Tuggs included a recipe for five-blossom bread in his cookbook, The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook, and began serving it in his restaurant, Tuggs' Grub while it was on the Outer Rim planet Batuu.[1]
Behind the scenes[]

Johnston.[3] Five-blossom bread was first pictured in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge: The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook, a recipe book released the same year that was authored by Chelsea Monroe-Cassel and Marc Sumerak.[1]
