Nuovo Forno Piconi in Ascoli Piceno: what it offers

Bread comes in many versions: casereccio (rustic loaf), whole wheat, rye, Senatore Cappelli wheat, multigrain and turmeric. Alongside it is cacciannanz, a flatbread from the southern Marche made with bread dough and a drizzle of oil: the name recalls that it was once baked first, to check whether the oven was hot enough.

Then there are pizza al taglio (baked in a pan) and pizza in pala (baked on a peel), cookies with almonds, anise, walnuts and raisins or vino cotto (a Marche "cooked wine"), crostate (tarts) with many different jams and slow-rising maritozzi (sweet buns). Seasonal products include naturally leavened panettoni and colombe and piconi, a savory Easter pastry made with pecorino and eggs that here is prepared all winter long.
