Puccia bread chips
Item 1 of 1
This elegant, easy bread chips recipe by Matteo Metullio showcases two celebrated Italian ingredients: the fragrant, straw-coloured Malga butter produced in mountain dairies and PGI-protected Tyrolean speck, a cured and smoked variation on traditional Italian speck with a distinctive juniper flavour. If you can't source puccia bread a loaf of olive ciabatta would make a worthy substitute.
