Carta di Musica


I just read a book by Frances Mayes "Womens in Sunlight" It is so enganging book wit delicious descriptions of Italy nature, food and frienship. Food description were just so inviting, so I could not resist to try some dishes alsoo in my kitchen.

So here is my version on Carta Di Musica- flatbread from Italian island Sardinia. There is a lot of recipes and techniques available.
These are very thin flatbread. It is said that bakers roll it out until a sheet of music can be read through it. The bread is crisp and crarcker-like.

Ingredients:

240 g durum wheat flour
235 ml warm water
1 tsp salt
olive oil
salt flakes
rosemary leaves

Mix all the ingredients. Knead the dough for 10 minutes and wrap into food film.
Let it be at least 1 hour in room temperature but more time is even better. The dough will be elastic and formable.
Divide dough  into 10 balls, Roll the dough balls as thin as possible (you should see throw the dough after rolling). Spray over with olive oil. Sprinkle rosemary leaves and salt flakes to bread. Bake at 200 C until golden brown.

Serve with fresh tomatoes, cheese and glass of wine.
