The fennel flatbread is a tasty rustic appetizer or side dish, easy to make and irresistible.
It is a simple recipe in terms of ingredients but very flavorful of peasant origin, where people learned to enhance what the garden offered, transforming a few elements into something surprisingly good. The fennel, sweet and delicate, becomes the true protagonist: thinly sliced, it merges with the dough creating a soft consistency inside and slightly crunchy on the surface. It’s a preparation that wins over for its lightness and authentic flavor, perfect to enjoy hot just out of the oven, but also excellent at room temperature. Ideal as an appetizer, for a rustic aperitif, or as an accompaniment to cold cuts and cheese.
