Ingredients:

  • 4 cups of durum wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 cups of warm water
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil

Instructions:

Step 1: Preparing the Dough

In a large bowl, combine the durum wheat flour, salt, and olive oil. Gradually add the warm water and mix until the dough comes together. Once the dough is no longer sticky, transfer it to a lightly floured surface.

Step 2: Kneading the Dough

Knead the dough for about 10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth and elastic. This will help develop gluten and give the bread its characteristic texture. You can use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment if you prefer.

Step 3: Resting the Dough

Shape the dough into a ball and lightly coat it with olive oil. Place the dough back into the bowl and cover it with a clean kitchen towel. Allow the dough to rest for at least 1 hour at room temperature. This will relax the gluten and make it easier to roll out the bread later on.

Step 4: Dividing the Dough

After the resting period, divide the dough into small, golf ball-sized portions. Take one dough ball at a time and keep the rest covered to prevent them from drying out.

Step 5: Rolling Out the Bread

Take one dough ball and roll it out into a very thin circle. It should be about 0.5-1mm thick. If the dough keeps shrinking back, let it rest for a few minutes and then continue rolling. Repeat this step for the remaining dough balls.

Step 6: Baking the Bread

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Place the rolled-out dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 1-2 minutes, or until the bread puffs up and turns golden brown. Keep a close eye on it as it can burn quickly. Once done, remove it from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack.

Step 7: Re-baking the Bread (Optional)

If you want your bread to become extra crispy, you can proceed with re-baking it. Preheat your oven to the lowest temperature setting and place the cooled bread back on a baking sheet. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until it becomes completely dry and crispy.

Step 8: Enjoy!

Once the pane carasau has cooled down, it is ready to be enjoyed! Break the bread into rough pieces and serve it as a snack, with dips, or alongside your favorite Sardinian dishes. Buon appetito!
