About the dish

Mugello is a traditional bread originating from Tuscany. It's made with natural yeast, stone-milled Mugello wheat flour, water, and just a bit of salt. The dough is shaped into an oval filone loaf that's baked in a wood-fired oven. These plain loaves have a crunchy exterior and a soft crumb. The bread remains fresh for at least five days. After that, when it hardens, mugello is often used in the preparation of typical local dishes such as panzanella, pappa con pomodoro, and ribollita.
