Breads

The foundation of bread can be traced back to the Fertile Crescent where the techniques and practice spread and evolved throughout the Mediterranean. From those earliest recipes Middle Eastern flatbreads like Pita, gluten-free Farinata (socca), Turkish Simit, and Italian Focaccia were born. Breads in the Mediterranean are made with a variety of flours and used to soak up sauces, spreads, and all the delectable spices of the cuisine.
