About Tuscan bread

Tuscan Bread, or “Pane Toscano,” is a traditional Italian bread originating from the Tuscany region. Made with just flour, water, and yeast, its defining characteristic is the absence of salt, which dates back to historical salt taxes in Tuscany. The lack of salt gives it a mild flavor and makes it an ideal companion to savory dishes like soups, cured meats, and olive oil spreads. Tuscan Bread is typically baked in a large round or oval shape with a dense, chewy texture and a rustic crust. While it provides essential carbohydrates and is low in fat, its plain composition lacks significant amounts of protein, fiber, or micronutrients. However, it pairs well with nutrient-rich toppings, enhancing its nutritional profile. Its simplicity and natural ingredients make it a wholesome choice, but moderation is key due to its refined flour base, which may contribute to blood sugar spikes.
