throughout the day, brushed with
mouthwatering butter and garlic
and served warm at every table.

Bread has many uses in the Italian kitchen. Breadcrumbs often serve as topping for baked pasta dishes and bread figures prominently in the preparation of soups and meatballs. Like wine, without bread, a meal is simply not Italian.
