Crescentine, also called crescente or tigelle, are thin, about ten centimeter round breads from the Apennine Mountains in the Modena area of Emilia Romagna, Italy, made with flour, water, salt and yeast. They are traditionally eaten filled with cunza, a spread of pork lard flavored with garlic and rosemary, or with cold cuts, boar, rabbit, cheese, salty dressings or sweet spreads. In the Apennines they have long been eaten at home or in traditional restaurants, and in the last decade some fast food and casual restaurants have added them to their menus, alongside similar regional breads such as piadina, borlengo, gnocco fritto and panigaccio.
