Description

Pani indorau, also known as pai n’dorau in Sardinian, is a quick and simple treat from the island.

It’s a recipe designed to reuse leftovers, and in particular to avoid wasting stale bread, transforming it into a delicious dish.

You can have it for breakfast or as a snack, or use it as bread during a meal.

This recipe is for the classic, savoury version of pani indorau, but for those with a sweet tooth, try substituting salt with sugar for an irresistible sweet version!
