Italian Bread

Italian country bread becomes a base for Tuscan crostini, including the baked sausage-and-stracchino version.

At the table

For Visit Tuscany’s baked sausage-and-stracchino crostini, spread the mixture over slices of pane casereccio. Choose a country loaf by its texture and flour rather than a protected designation.

Choose bread that lets you spread the topping evenly, and use the same cut for the whole tray.
