Torta al testo (Umbrian flat bread)
Whoever comes to Umbria cannot fail to taste torta al testo: a traditional regional dish that can be filled with cheese, sausage, vegetables... or any other ingredient that inspires one's imagination! In ancient times, the testo, also known as 'panaro', was a simple flat stone of more or less circular shape. Only in recent times has the use of an amalgam of clay and marble powder in a circular shape taken over, baked, placed on the fire and, once hot, used as a base for the traditional dough.
