About the dish

Moddizzosu is a round, artisan bread from the Barbagia di Seulo area. The dough is made with semolina and su frammentu , or mother yeast, and it is baked in a wood-burning oven fired with aromatic wildwood that adds another layer of flavor to the bread. Once baked, this soft-crusted bread with white crumb can last up to 10 days without losing its freshness. Traditionally prepared in two sizes, bigger, su civargiu , weighing around 800 g, and smaller, sa civargedda , weighing around 400 g, it can be additionally enriched with potatoes or fried pork fat.
