Tuscany is almost synonymous with its unique bread without salt, with its thick and well-cooked crust. People always ask why we're the only ones in Italy not to use salt in bread but this stereotype is quite incorrect. Sure, most of us have the traditional "pane sciapo" on their desk but there are many other types of bread that are quite popular in our region. That's why we have decided to bring you along for a quick tour of five breads that have nothing to do with the traditional "panaccio". From the potatoes bread of Garfagnana to the saffron-infused panina of Arezzo, from the German-born semelle of Florence to the chestnut-rich marocca of Lunigiana, there are plenty of interesting choices. Some of these specialties have managed to gain traction and become popular in other parts of Italy and turning their homes into prime spots for foodies. What is your take? Would you be willing to try some of these weird concoctions if you had the chance? Is there a special bread from your homeland that you think should get more recognition?
