Chapter 11: Breads, Flatbreads, Pizzas, And More, The Complete Mediterranean Cookbook
Description
This simple yet elegant topping transforms ordinary bread into a Mediterranean delicacy. The sweetness of roasted fennel pairs beautifully with the pungent heat of minced garlic, all brought together by rich extra-virgin olive oil. It offers a crisp, aromatic crunch that complements the softness of fresh flatbreads or crusty loaves. Perfect as an appetizer or a side dish, it requires minimal effort but delivers maximum flavor. Serve warm to enjoy the fragrant notes of fennel and garlic at their peak.Ingredients
