Savory Roman "Rosette" Loaves - 10 Pack

These delightful mini-loaves are made with stone-milled wheat, legume sourdough starter, and two ingredients used in Roman bread-making and cooking, according to historian Pliny the Elder: git (Roman coriander) and asafoetida (which has an onion-like flavor). The loaf resembles a small “’rosette,” a floral sculptural component used extensively throughout the Bronze Age and Classical Mediterranean. Break the rosette along the wedge-lines to facilitate dipping or stacking with cheese and figs!
