Municipal denomination De.Co

Batarö is a sort of bread DE.CO (Municipality Denomination) of the municipality of Alta Val Tidone.
It’s an ancient product, that reminds to those time when mothers aunts and grandmas used to keep some dough apart to test the temperature of the oven and then they used the result to prepare a snack for the children, creating small sandwiches.

Let it rest for 30 minutes.

Form balls the size of a fist, roll them out and put them in the oven.
