Puddica
Puddica, a simple Italian flatbread from Puglia consists of a dough (made with flour, yeast, salt, sugar, water, and olive oil) that is traditionally topped with ripe tomatoes and sprinkled with oregano in the classic version. However, there are varieties with added capers, onions, prosciutto, black olives, and hot peppers.
The flatbread is placed into a deep dish, then baked until it develops a nice golden brown color. Puddica is especially popular in Brindisi, where it's considered a local specialty that is consumed either as a light lunch with cheese or as a tasty afternoon snack.
