| schiacciata
Language: Italian
Description: In Sicily and Tuscany this is a, double crusted pizza, rather like focaccia - a sort of flattened bread. However, in Bergamo it seems to be more of a crispbread. The waiter at the charming La Brughiera in Villa D'Almè explained to us that the dough was made and then passed repeatedly through a pasta machine to flatten it.
