When the cold seasons arrive, the desire to pamper oneself with a dish that manages to warm the body and spirit grows.
In this, Sicilian cuisine really has a lot to offer, as it draws on a truly extraordinary poor and peasant tradition.
Pane Cotto Siciliano is a delicious Sicilian-style cooked bread soup.
It is also a way to recycle stale bread.
Of course, for the end result to be perfect, it is best that you choose a bread made of wheat flour.
We also added good grated pecorino cheese to the recipe.
If you like, you can complete with flavorings of your liking and even a little chili pepper.
You will feel the goodness.
