Pugliese bread is a traditional Italian loaf originating from the Puglia region in southern Italy. Known for its rustic, golden crust and airy, soft interior, this bread is typically crafted using simple ingredients: wheat flour, water, salt, and yeast. Its high-hydration dough gives it a distinct texture with irregular air pockets, making it ideal for dipping in olive oil or accompanying hearty soups. As a source of carbohydrates, Pugliese bread provides energy, but its healthfulness depends on moderation and pairing with nutrient-rich foods. Whole wheat versions offer added fiber and nutrients compared to white flour varieties. While low in fat, it’s not a significant source of protein or vitamins, so it’s best enjoyed as part of a balanced diet. Its pleasing flavor and texture make it a favorite among bread lovers seeking authentic, artisanal options.
