Bread with pumpkin seeds is a fragrant and nutritious treat that brings the warmth and comfort of Italian cuisine. Its roots lie in the traditions of home baking, where natural ingredients come together for a harmonious flavor. The delicate dough, enriched with grain flakes, acquires an airy texture, while the pumpkin seeds add a pleasant nutty note and a slight crunch to the crust. This bread pairs perfectly with cheese, honey, or butter and makes an excellent addition to soups and salads. It not only delights the palate but also offers health benefits due to its rich fiber and healthy fats content. Each slice of this bread is a piece of sunny warmth captured in its golden crust.
