Mafalda

Sicilian mafalda bread, known for its crusty exterior and soft, airy crumb, is typically shaped into an elongated or serpentine form and sprinkled generously with sesame seeds. The bread is made with durum wheat flour, which gives it a slightly yellow hue and a unique flavor. Mafalda is often enjoyed as a sandwich bread or served alongside meals. It has become a beloved staple in Sicilian cuisine due to its distinctive texture and nutty taste from the sesame seeds.
