Torta al Testo Umbra con Verdure Selvatiche
Umbria — widespread, from Perugia to Terni, market and festival street food
Umbrian flatbread cooked on a terracotta disc (testo) — a thick, unleavened (or minimally leavened) flatbread split while still hot and filled with cooked wild greens (cicoria, rucola selvatica, or erbette di campo) dressed with olive oil, garlic, and chilli. The torta al testo (also called crescia) is the street food of Umbrian markets and feste — sold from mobile stands by vendors who split the bread with a single horizontal cut while still steaming. The bread itself is slightly chewy, not crisp, with a smoky character from the testo.
