This is the first Foodtopia Moment that features colazione
(breakfast). Sometimes Mom and I eat cereal, but usually we have popular local
breakfast fare. Today, Mom had pizza con cipolla (onions), and I had a piece of
pane rustica (rustic bread stuffed with meats and olives). The pane rustica was
somewhat tough to find in past years as it sells pretty quickly. But it is
slower in town this year, so I have lucked out several times. Pane rustica
features prosciutto cotto (cooked ham), salsicce piccante (spicy sausage), mozzarella,
pancetta, and olive neri (black olives). All of the ingredients are mixed into
the dough, and baked together and the taste is rich and flavorful.
