Friselle

Friselle, frise or frisedde are biscuit sandwiches, usually round in shape with a central hole and a rough and irregular surface to put various toppings.

The frisella is made with durum wheat or barley, cooked in the oven, possibly a wood one, then cut in half and baked again to acquire a crunchy and dry consistency.

Traditionally, frisella is wet in water and vinegar, the so-called “sponzare la frisa” process. The amount of water and vinegar depends on personal tastes. Later, it is seasoned with extra virgin olive oil, tomatoes, salt and oregano, but there are many variations on the traditional recipe.
