Parco Alpi Apuane

The color of the dough is the characteristic color of the semi-wholemeal bread, slightly darker than the crust. Soft but compact dough.

Ingredients: superfine flour, wholemeal wheat flour, boiled potatoes or potato flakes, yeast, salt.

Potato bread is used during meals. The big loaves of bread, cut into slices, are excellent if combined with the cold cuts of Garfagnana, like Salame prosciuttato, biroldo, and mondiola.
