Torta al Testo (Umbria)
Torta al testo is a traditional, rustic flatbread hailing from the beautiful region of Umbria, located in central Italy. This centuries-old bread is made from a simple dough consisting of flour, water, and yeast. It’s cooked on a flat iron skillet or a round, flat stone called a “testo,” which imparts a slightly smoky flavour and a dense, chewy texture to the bread.
Torta al testo is incredibly versatile. It can be enjoyed plain or sliced open and filled with an assortment of savoury ingredients like prosciutto, cheese, or vegetables, making it the perfect companion for a quick meal or a satisfying snack. The bread is often found at street food markets and festivals in Umbria. It’s a must-try if you find yourself wandering through the region’s charming towns and picturesque landscapes
