Coffin bread, also known ascoffin lid orcoffin board (Taiwanese Hokkien:koaⁿ-chhâ-pang 棺柴枋,Chinese:棺材板;pinyin:guāncaibǎn),[1] is a Taiwanesebread bowl which originated inTainan.

Coffin bread starts as a thickTexas toast style slab ofwhite bread. The bread is hollowed out and either toasted or fried before it is filled with a creamy stew of chicken, seafood,tripe, or mushroom. It is then topped with a piece of toasted or fried bread, creating the "coffin" look.[2]
