Il pane

7 anni fa

Hello everybody!
 Today I would like to start a discussion on a food that is of primary importance: bread.  In Italy there are many types of bread. Here are some: 
la michetta/la rosetta.  It is a small sandwich made more of a crust than a crumb. In fact, inside it is empty. 
il filoncino.  It is an elongated sandwich of about 30 cm in diameter 6/7 cm. It's great to stuff maybe with mortadella.
il filone.  More rustic made of unrefined wheat and wider than the filoncino.
il panino integrale/all'olio/al latte. A small plump bread made with wholemeal flour/with oil/with milk.
la pagnotta. Bigger than il panino.
il pancarrè. Square bread.
la frisella.  Baked bread. To eat it, wet it with water and season with tomato and olive oil. 
la puccia. Bread with black olives.     .... and more...
