Su pani pintau, bread as a work of art
Su Pani Pintau, typical Sardinian ceremonial breadIt is so called because inlays were made in the dough.Initially prepared for weddings, confirmations and communions, it was later also made for other occasions, such as Easter.At weddings, instead of the classic favours, a coccoedda or su pani pintau was offered, which was also eaten on the wedding day.With the passing of time, the tradition has been somewhat lost, few people prepare it because the new generations have not learnt how to make it. In fact, there are no longer any bakeries that make it, it is only made at home.Durum wheat semolina, yeast and water are used to prepare it.
