ROMAN BREAD Makes 1 flatbread
Roman bread is the house bread at the Casa Vieja restaurant near Arizona State Uni-
versity. My recipe tester, Mary Anne, has made this bread dozens of times to accom-
pany dinner. The onion is added at the beginning with all the other ingredients, so it
gets incorporated right into the dough. Sometimes Mary Anne sprinkles it with grated
Asiago cheese in place of the salt or with another dried herb, such as basil, before bak-
ing. There is never any left over, but if there were, it would be great bread for making
stuffing.
