Maltese Ftira is a traditional bread from Malta, known for its distinct flattened, rustic shape and crusty exterior. Often crafted with a mix of wheat flour, water, yeast, and salt, it’s baked to golden perfection, delivering a chewy texture inside with a satisfyingly crisp crust. Ftira is a staple in Maltese cuisine and often serves as a base for hearty fillings such as fresh tomatoes, olives, tuna, capers, or local cheese, making it a versatile meal component. Nutritiously, it provides energy from carbohydrates and can be enriched with healthy fats and protein depending on the toppings. However, portion control is key as calorie count and sodium can rise depending on ingredients added. Its simplicity and adaptability make Maltese Ftira a cherished symbol of Mediterranean eating, offering a balance of comfort and nourishment integral to the island’s culinary heritage.
