Pinsa is a traditional Roman flatbread that’s making a delicious comeback in kitchens around the world. With its roots dating back to ancient times, pinsa is known for its unique blend of flours which give it a wonderfully light, airy texture and a crisp, golden crust. Unlike classic pizza dough, pinsa is fermented longer and baked to perfection, resulting in a digestible, flavourful base that pairs beautifully with a variety of toppings. Whether you’re craving something rustic and savoury or fresh and seasonal, this pinsa recipe is your gateway to an authentic taste of Italy.
