bruschetta with tomatoes

bruschetta with tomatoes

Bruschetta with tomatoes is certainly one of those dishess that, I believe ,  represents  Italy. Bruschetta seems like a simple thing to do, and in reality it is, but you must be extremely careful with a few  things. 1: The bread must be Casareccio bread, baked in a wood oven, [...]
