Why choose flatbread with bruschetta?

The combination of olive oil with Provençal herbs and bruschetta of tomato and Taggiasca olive creates an irresistible explosion of flavor.

How to make this flatbread with bruschetta
- Making the dough: Mix flour, yeast, water, olive oil, and salt into a cohesive dough. Knead for a few minutes until smooth. Cover and let rise for 45 minutes.
