Sardenara

Sardenara

Sardenara or Sardenaira is a classic snack from West Liguria similar to a pizza, baked in very large rectangular baking trays and generally bought from a bakery in small rectangular cut pieces. The light crispy base is normally approx 15mm thick and is made from a bread type dough of wheat flour (the flour is normally of cake quality) with sometimes the addition of potato flour mixed with yeast, olive oil and milk. The tomato topping consists of tomatoes and onions cooked before putting on the base as opposed to a pizza where the topping is left uncooked before going into the oven, all finished of with capers, garlic, local black olives, oregano and brushed with olive oil.

If you are buying this as a snack then some people recommend that you buy two pieces and eat them so that the tomatoes sides are mated together and the bread base is out. The reason is to allow you to keep your fingers clean though you are cautioned the filling may escape out the sides.
