Pane guttiau is a flatbread from Sardinia prepared by taking sheets of pane carasau and brushing them with olive oil and salt. The oiled bread is then re-baked until crispy, resulting in a seasoned, cracker-like texture. It serves as a crunchy snack or appetizer rather than a base for meals. Often, it is broken into smaller pieces and enjoyed alongside cheeses, cured meats, or a glass of wine.

Why is pane carasau sometimes called carta da musica?
Its sheets are so thin and crisp that they have been compared to music paper, giving rise to the name carta da musica. Pane guttiau retains that brittle structure but adds oil and salt.

Can pane guttiau be made from store-bought pane carasau?
Yes. The usual finishing method is to brush or drizzle pane carasau with olive oil, add salt, and heat it until crisp and fragrant.
