Vastedda

Vastedda is a traditional bread originating from Sicily. This round loaf of bread without a hole in the middle is typically sold in Palermo. However, a bread with the same name is also prepared in the town of Ramacca in Catania, where it's made in the shape of a loaf or donut.


In the province of Enna, there are the vastidduni, which are larger and have a thicker crust. The vastedda from Palermo is mostly used for pani ca meusa sandwiches, when the bread buns are filled with veal spleen and often caciocavallo or ricotta cheese.
