an italian cook around the world
Ciabatta is one of the most typical Italian bread, easy to make, and the protagonist of several delicious recipes. Despite its relatively recent creation, Ciabatta is probably the most popular European bread, along with French Baguette. Here the history and the recipe of Ciabatta!
Rosemary flatbread is a Tuscan specialty! In Italy it is called “focaccia” or “schiacciata”. Coarse salt is essential to obtain the characteristic taste and texture. The Italian tradition requires adbundant olive oil. For this reason the quality of the oil is essential to obtain a great “schiacciata”. I love load my rosemary flatbread with cheese, baked vegetables or cured meats, but it is delicious simply plain as well!
