ITALIAN WHOLE WHEAT FLATBREAD Makes one 15-by-10-inch flat-
bread
The Italians eat a wide variety of flatbread appetizers. This one is made with whole
wheat flour. In true Tuscan style, there is no salt in the dough but there is plenty on top
to balance out the flavor. The combination of milk and water makes a tender bread.
Serve this flatbread at the end of the day, warm if possible, cut into pieces, accompa-
nied by some fontina cheese, grapes and figs, and a Chianti wine.
