Pane carasau is a thin, crispy bread made from a simple dough of durum wheat semolina, water, yeast, and salt. After an initial baking, it is split into thin sheets and baked a second time, which removes all moisture and makes it extremely dry and long-lasting. Its surface is golden and slightly irregular, with a delicate texture that remains highly stable during storage. Its thin structure allows it to stay intact for long periods without alteration. It is sold in thin, lightweight sheets that are easy to transport.
