Pane Carasau

Breads, Flatbreads and Savory Pastries

Pane carasau is a traditional flatbread from Sardinia, known in Italian as carta da musica, meaning sheet music, because it is rolled so thin and paper like that a printed page can reportedly be read through it. The bread is typically paired with pecorino cheese and wine.
