Michetta
Also known as: Michetta PAT
Milanese flower-shaped white bread roll with a crisp crust and airy, nearly hollow centre.
About Michetta
Michetta is a traditional Milanese white bread roll recognised by its flower-like crown. This profile follows La Cucina Italiana's long-fermented version, selecting sugar from its documented malt, honey or sugar choices.
Its flavour is clean and wheaty, with gentle fermented notes and only a trace of sweetness. The high, crisp crust provides most of the character around a very light interior.
The roll is round and deeply stamped into petal-like sections, with a pale-golden, brittle crust. Long fermentation and steam create large air pockets and an almost hollow centre.
