How to make the panzanella (pan molle):
Soak the slices of bread in water, making sure they are not soggy, and keep their
shape. Squeeze out excess water and place in a large serving dish. Make
a salad with the tomatoes, onion, oil, pepper, vinegar, salt and pepper.
Toss and spread over the bread, drizzle with more olive oil, add a few
basil leaves and keep cool until ready to serve.
There are several variations to the panzanella (pan molle), and each one is claimed to be the
original by its author. Whatever the case, they all contain the same
basic ingredients: bread, tomatoes, other vegetables and olive oil.
